Thank you very much to all of our presenters. It was extremely informative.
I wanted to just go back to June 2006, when I believe the Auditor General had appeared before the committee and had stated at that time that she found it slightly surprising that a passport wasn't an accepted document to obtain a social insurance number. I know that the presentation that has been done by the department today outlines that they do take some documents in terms of original proof-of-identity documents, such as a birth certificate. I wanted to find out if passports are now being accepted by Service Canada.
Secondly, to follow up on that, how does Service Canada verify the identity of these original documents that are presented to them to obtain the SIN numbers? That's to the department.
