The fact that the Treasury adopted the reasonable suspicion test, which has proved unsatisfactory in the eyes of the Supreme Court, demonstrates the lack of wisdom of legislating by way of secondary legislation.

Members regarding the use of the reasonable suspicion test, which is a low standard of proof?
