I am looking at the response that was given. When I look at the issue, if you look at the first page, it says, “That the Committee send for a report from the department detailing statistics related to the registration of Canadians born abroad and to the registration of births of second-generation Canadians abroad since 1977.”
In attempting to respond to that, sir, what we have done is give you some pieces of data that may or may not relate to what you were looking for but that relate to what we can give you. What I'm saying to you is that those 2000, 2005, and 2007 figures do not necessarily relate to births in those years; in fact, I would be surprised. So your extrapolation may not be accurate.
