I know, and we had a lengthy discussion about a rules-based or principles-based approach to these matters. Here we are very much falling down on the rules because a principles-based approach was too open to interpretation. Where we came down with regard to the money issue was that it was more of a problem around verification, the potential to defraud, and that type of approach to it rather than the way we are going with it. We did not progress it any further, therefore. We looked at it but we came down in favour of our amendment.
