I think the question is about rates of anorexia and this notion of how we actually get good data in relation to this.

I think Marla Israel provided data from 2006. We do not have other current data in Canada. Marla Israel might be able to correct me on this, but I think we in Canada are about to collect more data in relation to child and youth health. So hopefully we will have better data in relation to this.

I think this is an important issue for us to bear in mind as we move forward, and that's why I used American data.
