Yes, I can see that it is the way that everything is moving. Therefore, perhaps, for a company like ours, in the long run it may be that it is the right thing to do. I guess the difficulty that would arise would not necessarily be with a company like ours, because we're like the Royal Bank of the arts industry in Canada. Would the same regulations therefore have to apply to a two-person auction house working in a small town? Maybe. Certainly, with all of our buyers and all of our sellers we do all of the background checks that we can, even though we're not, as you say, legally bound to do so.
