It seems to me that is for parliamentarians to decide. The flip side of that argument is that voluntary disclosures result in more income more quickly. Then you have what they call “naming and shaming”, which could be useful, but we are talking about confidential information. You discussed that with Mr. Owens. One of the provisions of this entire procedure is to view this information as confidential. There are tax evaders, but I am not quite sure what Canadian authorities say to them. I believe they are required to pay fines and perhaps the taxes on the interest that has accrued over the years, as well. I do not believe they get off the hook simply because they report that they should have paid a given amount but did not do so. Nevertheless, I am not an expert in the procedure that applies in Canada.
