I don't want to take your time, but I just want to say that with biometrics, don't think of it with silver bullet thinking, believing that you're going to solve it with biometrics. Rather, it's about the use of biometrics with what you have and what you don't have.

Thank you very much.

I have a deep feeling that my colleague Mr. Graham would like to filibuster if he could, because he's really got a lot to say. I would normally like to continue, but we do have an agreement on Thursdays that for people who are going to head out for flights, we end after this round.

I want to thank you very much. This has been a fascinating discussion with really excellent information. If you have things that you think we should be looking at, or if you're checking our testimony in that regard, certainly feel free to write our committee because we will be preparing a report.

Go ahead, Mr. Saini.

Just to all four of you, I mentioned the one specific issue about the countries, but if there's any other information that any of you think we need, we'd be deeply grateful if you could pass it on in a submission to give us the opportunity to expand our own thinking on this topic.

We'll share some information for sure.

Thank you for having us.
