Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our three guests.
I am going to start my first line of questions with Mr. Elcock, but I want to make a comment with regard to what Mr. Loren said.
You stated with regard to biometrics that it's kind of like what fingerprints were years ago, and it's a statement that.... We've had countless other witnesses say that we're actually bringing Canada in line with many other countries around the world that use biometrics, such as the U.K., Australia, the European Union, and New Zealand, etc. So I'm glad that you also said the same thing. I think we are playing a bit of a catch-up game right now.
Mr. Elcock, this question is with regard to biometrics or sources of intelligence. What do you think about our provisions in Bill C-31 with regard to that particular aspect in the bill?
