Mr. Chair, my questions basically have to do with a practical issue. A security system has to ensure that we can monitor people who enter and leave, and that the person who enters with one document and one identity does not leave with another identity and another passport.
Even here in Canada, we have the so-called “real fakes”. Those are refugees who go to an Immigration Canada office, apply for a passport with a fake birth certificate and a fake driver’s licence, and receive the document.
One of those “real fakes” crossed the Canadian border and was intercepted at the American border in Seattle. He was getting ready to set off a bomb. Will our system be able to protect us against something like that? Will it be able to tell us when someone enters and, most importantly, when they leave? If they don’t leave, will a little red light go on and tell us that someone has entered Canada illegally?
