I appreciate that and I understand the context. We would have been aware of that but I appreciate the point.

I will go back to Ms McPhillips who made a comment earlier that caused me concern so I want to make sure I understand what she means. She said that we are constantly keeping up with money laundering directives, and that there were subsequent directives. That phrase "constantly keeping up" raises a very large flag for me. Given what we are seeing with Russia, the difficulties throughout Europe and our own exposure even though it is very small going by those figures from the Department of Finance, I do not like that phrase from Ms McPhillips. Would she like to clarify or explain what she means?
