I thank Mr. Browder for coming here today. I was impressed with his delivery and the telling of his story. I would be interested to hear whether he himself is ploughing a lonely furrow or whether he has support with him.

On the Act that was signed into law in the United States by President Obama in December last, Mr. Browder stated he identified a number of officials - I think he mentioned 300 - and a list. I am sure that law is being implemented. It is an eye-opener to me. The effect it could have is that there would be persons such as this who would have accumulated such an amount of wealth, investing it abroad and keeping it bank accounts in the United States and elsewhere.
