Do you think that this area of legal definition, both in the Criminal Code and in the tax act, will be of interest to Commissioner Cole? I assume that, in coming back with his final report, he would be making recommendations which would include legislative changes, if those matters were drawn to his attention. I ask you the question deliberately because, even though you were saying that the government has a particular view—if there is an area of some dispute, it might be worthwhile drawing this to the attention of Commissioner Cole’s officers so that they could consider whether or not it is a matter they wish to deal with either in evidence or in their final report.
