Thank you.
With regard to the ten-year passport, before we implement or roll it out nationally in 2011, a certain number of things will happen.
The first thing is that we will implement official recognition software, which will make it extremely difficult for people to apply under two names, for instance. That's the first check that will be done. As people apply and as their request comes in, the software will allow us to basically compare an incoming photograph with the 16 million photographs we have in our system as we speak. That's the first security feature that will be implemented.
Second, we are also implementing within the next 12 months an electronic system that will allow us to do all the alerts. Most of the security checks we're doing right now will be done electronically. Right now lots of the security checks are conducted manually, hence the problem of security when our turnover is very high and we need to retrain people, for instance. We will have a system that will allow us to do that electronically as we go. So, on an ongoing basis, the computer will check for variation patterns and so on, which again will reinforce our security apparatus.
Third, we will change the booklet itself. The passport booklet will be modified and modernized.
The fourth element of the security strategy is the chip itself. The chip will basically contain exactly the same information you have on page 2 of your passport: photograph, names, date of birth, and so on. The chip will be a replica of what you have on page 2 of your passport. If someone wants to tamper with the booklet, they will also have to tamper with the chip. That will make the book more secure.
Our recommendation has always been that new security features have to be implemented before the validity of the passport can be extended.
I hope I have provided you with some answers to the first question.
With regard to security, yes, in fact turnover may be a problem if it is fairly high. One of the sectors right now where we are stable and beefing up is the security side of Passport Canada. Two years ago a DG position for security was created, to build a bureau that is in a much better position to respond to new security requirements.
