Essentially what we've done, in terms of working with our partners, and, again, subject to approval, is we've looked at countries that require a visa to enter Canada in the first instance. Within that population we've looked at the number of immigration infractions that we see relative to that population. We also look at issues related to criminality and those countries where we already do have fairly detailed security screening requirements. We're also consulting across government on bilateral and multilateral considerations that would perhaps have an impact on the imposition of biometrics. I would also remind you that this is going to be a limited rollout in this phase, and it will not cover all countries that are subject to visa requirements.
