As a matter of clarification, recommendation No. 2 of the committee last year did not recommend a review of the entire Act. It recommended a review of the Act to identify potential legislative barriers to the reimbursement of orphan drugs and corresponding legislative amendments. It was not asking for an entire review of the Act. It honed in specifically on that aspect. Mr. Judge seemed to think we asked for a review of the entire Act, but that is not the case.
