Yes. Furthermore, I also said at the time that no evidence has been offered to us, from any of the countries that use lists of suspects, to prove that passing on this information had enabled authorities to make arrests or that it had had any impact whatsoever. No security service has ever praised this procedure as being a useful one. So, there is a big question mark in that regard.
In my opinion, if Canadians are following the U.S. example, it is because of their geographic position, and not because of their values. When they get on an airplane, they very often have to fly over the United States. The only good news in all of this is that the United States will not be requesting this information for flights between Montreal and Toronto, even if there is a chance the plane may fly over Lake Ontario on the U.S. side of the border.
