But, excuse me, there's no balancing. The problem is that if we have a whole bunch of people arrive—and I'm going to stop soon, Mr. Lamoureux, and I thank you for not interrupting me—by boat or some other mode of transportation, we don't know who they are. They may not have identification. Canadian authorities have an obligation to determine whether any or all of these people are terrorists, or any or all of these people are criminals, because there's been evidence given to this committee that people who are potential terrorists or criminals have gotten through the hoops and are living among us.
