Minister, I'm trying to follow along in English. I understood you to say that you are aware of cases of fraud of over one million dollars that did not result in a sentence of two years' imprisonment. In these particular cases, the judges all imposed sentences of more than two years on the persons convicted of fraud. There are documented cases of sentences of six and seven years of imprisonment. For that reason, we find that this provision in the bill makes no sense.
