Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for coming again. I can see that a lot of great work is going into this from the different departments and that you are looking at the years ahead as biometrics and everything finally get rolled out.
As we know, in Bill C-31, our friends across voted against biometric provisions.
Les, can you tell us why biometric information is important and how it's going to help with the protection and safety of all Canadians overall?
