My fear is that this is subject to legislative definition. If it is subject to legislative definition, then we can have a broad group of expenditures that would come under the category of capital investments. If it is in any way related to affect something that is fixed or of a capital nature, it allows for a lot of leeway, and I am fearful that it would be subject to a loophole. How can we, in effect, close that loophole if it be such a loophole?
