My colleagues from CRA may have other comments, but I would say that we believe that reducing the opportunities to evade tax will reduce tax evasion. What we're doing as a policy shop at Finance is to try to put forward, as you call it, those tools to allow CRA better access to information and thereby to reduce tax evasion. In tax it's the same as an extradition treaty, for example. If you have an extradition treaty with another country, that takes one country off the list of those a fugitive might move to. If you take a jurisdiction off the list of somebody who has bank secrecy laws protecting them from our getting access to their investments, then that's one less place for them to go, seeking to evade taxes.
