Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for giving some of your afternoon to this committee. It will be helpful.
I'll follow up on the biometric passport and identifiers. I understand that we in Canada are very concerned about human smuggling, which could bring some terrorists and criminals into our country as well. I want to get your input on those kinds of issues.
Has the Government of Germany taken, or is it taking, some steps to ensure that genuine immigrants and refugees can come to Germany while they are able to keep all those criminals and terrorists out of the country? Are there are any suggestions you can make to this committee?
