Thank you very much. That's quite a good explanation.

I have time for one last question.

I understand that it's a complicated process, and it's timely, and it needs to be done right. That's absolutely essential. Still, I think Canada is the last of the G-8 countries to adopt such a passport. Can you explain why?

That's not an aggressive question, by the way.
