If I could just answer briefly, when the fall prevention initiative was under way it was clear that the two agencies were communicating very clearly and it was a great partnership. My understanding was that the Department of Veterans Affairs approached Health Canada because Health Canada had more experience in actual health research, but when the program ended, as far as I know, so did the collaboration. That's my impression. I wish it had continued.
