This is our study. This is why you were called here as witnesses, to comment and to give us information that could be valuable in preparing our assessment of the situation and what we would like to do.
One of the things we've been looking at is biometrics. I would like to hear your comments, hopefully from both of you, on whether you think that would be an effective tool in preventing fraud and keeping security threats out of our country. I'm sure you, like the rest of us, would not want security risks in our neighbourhoods, around our families, walking the streets, shopping where we shop, and so forth, so perhaps you could give me your feedback on biometrics.
This time we'll start with you, Ms. Des Rosiers, and then we'll go to Mr. Waldman.
