Thank you. Companies have not withdrawn from the jurisdiction. They are complying with the prohibitions related to genetic testing. In our discussions with the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, they pointed out that genetic testing is actually a very small component of insurance. Most insurance policies do not have a genetic testing component at all. Their concern was with medical histories and family medical histories and personal medical histories, and every life, health, and disability insurance policy deals with those aspects. In most cases, there's no reference to genetic testing at all. Their concern is much more with family medical history, the questions that relate to family medical history, and how those questions can be evaluated and used by the industry, than they are with the genetic testing component. Thank you.
