Thank you, Mr. Menegakis.
I'd also like to thank the committee for its positive recommendations with regard to biometrics in its recent report on immigration security.
I can report to the committee that we are moving forward with the implementation of the first tranche of biometrics this fall. Following an exhaustive tendering process, we have selected a supplier, a vendor, for the biometrics technology, and our officers are currently being trained in the first 30 countries for which biometrics will be a requirement for TRV, temporary resident visa, applications.
I'll ask Bob Orr to give a further update.
