Well, I dare say that this is a trend in this government, but I would actually go one step further. Like you, I'm trained as a lawyer, but I'm not a tax person. I took a tax class, and I don't remember much of it. I can't calculate capital cost allowance—that's for sure—but I think that anybody who reads the act will know that the confidentiality relates to a specific taxpayer. The whole point of it is that nobody can reveal how much tax you make and things like that. To me, when somebody hides behind that when asked a completely general question, as in how much money was defrauded, it's so obvious that the person is dodging the question. That's what I would say there.
