Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
While some of the things we do on Parliament Hill are esoteric, Minister, your being here is very real. The filled room says it. The fact that you've been directly in contact with people in British Columbia who I deal with on very concrete issues, like the ones we're talking about today, says it. The Canadian Tourism Commission, Tourism Whistler, and the B.C. task force on tourism have all benefited from giving input to you, which you're now reflecting.
I'd like to ask you a little more about biometrics, if I may. You've said that the department will be releasing the list later this year of countries for the temporary resident biometrics program. My question is, why will this program apply only to temporary residents and not to everyone coming to our country?
