Mr. Chair, obviously the hon. member is raising an interesting issue. I must admit that in my short time here I have not looked at the issue of the extension of the patent at all. I have focused on the evergreening issue and I have focused on the data protection issue. Those are issues I am working on.
I will in fact look at the issue the hon. member is raising. I have heard about it, but I have not been able to pay much attention to it, I must confess. I will look into it.
