Thank you. That was very helpful, particularly drawing down the current stock.
This is actually a big issue. I have a border riding. I'm right next to the state of Maine. In fact, I have an island in New Brunswick southwest, Campobello, with 400 or 500 households, and nine months of the year there's no direct link to Canada and to get to the rest of the riding it's an hour's drive through the state of Maine. So a passport is not a convenience. It is a requirement for these citizens, as for many others with blood ties on both sides of the border.
Can you talk to me about the cost. Why $160? Why not similar fees as to what we're saying today? I recognize there are costs that go into it but it's also one where.... You're going to tell me that there are more costs to produce it, and I understand that, but why are the fees so high? That's probably the biggest issue all members of Parliament are going to get. Why are we paying so much now for a new passport?
