I understand the point that the Minister is making. I think this a good section, but that is not the point. My point is to ask if there is any concern in relation to the list. I totally understand that countries have fears of being put on this list and that they would raise the impact that would have. I wonder specifically about the Minister’s own views. He said himself the list in flux. Countries can be added and removed. Would the Minister be concerned about the fact the list can be in flux? Obviously, it needs to be in flux to certain extent. However, does the Minister have concerns whereby shell companies can be opened up in different jurisdictions and can move with the list? Does he have concerns that is happening or could happen? Does the Minister think it needs to be strengthened in that regard?
