Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think you've shed some light on some things for our committee. It's been most helpful. I'm a mother of one of those wanderers. I have a daughter who has been travelling for three years. She has been in 40 countries so far and is intent on seeing the world before she stops. I applaud her for her energy and I applaud her for her initiative, because it's something that a lot of people never do.
I'm really interested in this registry of Canadians abroad. Ms. Fortier, you talked about self-reliance and about the need for people to take responsibility for their own travel and for educating themselves, following up on what Mr. Goldring was saying.
So you put considerable information on the websites; it's there for people to access. I know in my own constituency I've had people contact me and ask, “What if I go?” My backup is always to ask them if they have checked the Foreign Affairs website on that.
But I wonder if you could talk to us about this registry. How many people actually access it? We talked about 35,000 people who look at the website, but how many people actually register before they start their travel? Is there any way then that you connect with them when they are in the country? What access do they have to you when they are there?
