Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, thank you all for being here today. I know you're all experts in your field, and we're delighted to be able to pose questions to you on Bill C-31 and related topics.
Admiral, I'd like to start with you, and I'm going to talk a little bit about detention biometrics and some of this information-sharing you talked about.
Then I'll turn to Mr. Elcock and talk a little bit about smuggling and trafficking, sir, if that's okay.
Admiral, you mentioned the sharing of data between allies, specifically in this case the United States and Canada. As Colonel Perchal pointed out earlier, it's clearly important that we make sure our shared borders are secured.
I'd like you to describe in a little more detail, sir, some of the things you were just describing about information-sharing, perhaps in the context of entry/exit protocols.
