Thank you very much.
Mr. Chairman, this issue has been raised several times today. For two years now the government has had a policy to establish a biometric system for visitors to Canada. There are many reasons for this.
First, as I already stated, there's a growing problem with fraudulent documents that do not provide the true identity of those people who wish to visit Canada. Biometric identification is the only way of determining the true identity of an individual. A biometric system will reduce the amount of fraud on the part of individuals applying to visit Canada.
Obviously this is also an issue of national security. If criminals, for example potential terrorists, come to Canada, they do not come with their own passport, their own identity, their own name. They come with another name and a false pretext. In terms of security, biometrics is the only way to verify the identity of visitors to Canada. That is why most democratic countries are opting for biometrics.
Do you have something to add to that?
