In addition to the five members of the project team, many people provided valuable assistance in the preparation of this report. At the McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law, legal research assistance was provided by Sunny Handa, LL.M. At the Westminster Institute, valuable logistical and research support was provided by Jean Dalgleish, Edith Richardson, Debra Smith, Seanna-Lin Brodie-Keys and Jan Baldock. Brian Botting, Jock Langford, David Edwards and Geoff Oliver of Industry Canada's Intellectual Property Policy Directorate provided valuable background information that would have been difficult, if not impossible to obtain otherwise. Special thanks are due as well to Jean Christie, Director of International Liaison for the Rural Advancement Foundation International. However, all of the above are blameless with respect to the content of the report.
