The reason I ask these things is I am taking issue with you on that. I think that is fine, but we need to get some of these interpretive matters on the record, so that people who are adjudicating whether or not someone might have illegally arranged something know what the government is intending here. How do you define in 5A(1)(a) an 'intermediary'? What is an 'intermediary' strictly?
