One thing I try to explain to constituents who are frustrated by the process is how we have to be careful that the right people get passports, because there would be a security concern if they were given out too lightly. Maybe you could explain that for the committee a little bit more. Is there a black market globally for people who are trying to get Canadian passports? What are the security concerns around that, and how valuable are Canadian passports?
