What is the department doing to address this issue? Have they made requests to the government? This is a serious area of concern. We're in a world that's becoming more globalized when it comes to industry. Profits are not just being moved in a paper method to offshore havens; manufacturing is being done in a number of countries. There's inter-company accounting for products that move between countries with different tax levels. So we don't have the expertise to really do a good job of monitoring this situation.
