Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our delegates here today, and thanks for the presentations.
I guess there's one thing that I'm failing to understand, and it might need some clarification.
Mr. Faull, you've clearly described that the standards are quite significant for any of these member countries in regard to passports and documentation, and in some cases may even be further ahead than some of the existing member states. They may even be further ahead than we are. I'm not sure.
It seems that some of the new members have in fact been recognized and do not require visas. When I was looking at the list my colleague has, some progress has been made. Obviously, our government's only been here for four months, and we hope to move on some of these things. But countries like the Czech Republic or others have been members of the EU, if I'm not mistaken, for some time.
