In our day-to-day allocation of the crown prerogative, in consular services we use all the options at our disposal to try to assist Canadians in the way that is going to be most beneficial to them. I don't see that the legislation of that would result in our making additional efforts beyond what we normally do. The fact that we have the crown prerogative allows us to be flexible in our choice of the means and mechanisms by which we assist in each individual case, but the overall level of service, which is to assist Canadians to the full extent of our ability, is a constant part of our policy.
