I have one last question. Mr. Cody and his partners co-operate together on these issues. Is there a separate case where collectively they look at whether a case should be taken against a bank in terms of breaking the law for one reason or another? Do Mr. Cody and his partners look at that as well? Mr. Cody may not be able to do it on his own but collectively with the other tax authorities they may be able to say they have information from which it appears that a law has been broken. Would they pursue this together in that event? Does that type of conversation take place? Is the relationship just on the basis of pursuing tax and the individuals?
