Thank you. I'm sorry for interrupting. I want to get my last question in.

Professor Cukier, my final question is to you. You talked about how the U.K. has twice the population that the Canada has, but a drastically lower rate of firearms deaths. You talked about firearm bans in other countries.

I'm thinking of Australia. I have in-laws who live in Australia. They live in Tasmania, where the Port Arthur massacre happened. Australia took 650,000 firearms. Can you talk a bit about the experience of that country and what resulted after that policy was enacted?
