To add to that, Mr. Chairman, I think this is a very important and legitimate issue that needs a lot more attention. I think it's worth pointing out that since September 11 there has been a lot of activity among tax authorities and revenue authorities to monitor the flow of funding to terrorist countries. In other words, there is already an infrastructure, so to speak, among revenue and tax officials to track the money. The question is, why can't this be expanded to include the leakage, as it were, of tax revenue to tax havens?
There is an increasing body of opinion among civil society organizations that the leakage of tax revenue because of tax havens and other leakages in tax systems is really undermining the revenue base of governments around the world and reducing their ability to do things, to be good governments. You can't have good governance without governments that have a revenue base that is dependable.
So I think the point you're making is absolutely right on. It points in the direction of encouraging not only the international organizations, such as the IMF and the OECD, to take this issue far more seriously, but also departments of finance in each member country, including our own.
