The Minister is going back to 1984. We are talking about a different type of tax. As it is a residency tax, it could actually lose revenue. Transactions could take place here but the tax could be paid in other countries. I do not think we are having that serious debate. I know the Chairman is about to cut me off, so I will ask my other question. This committee has asked for the position papers and minutes of the Clearing House Group that meets the Department of Finance on a regular basis to be made available to it. I hope the Minister will respond by indicating his support for the request and for the committee's position.
