Okay. Again, the reason we have to do this right away is that the crux of the issue is going to be during the summer months. However, in terms of anyone saying, “Is this going to be a problem; is it hyperbolic?”, I would point out to you the data from the first three months of the year. We know that in the cold months of the year, between January and February, 2,000 people crossed the border. That is a huge increase over the same time period last year. If 2,000 people are going to cross the border in January and February, it shows that there is definitely evidence for the accuracy of the projection from government officials on the 400-per-day number. If the committee is not undertaking this study right away, then essentially what's happening is that we're deferring the work until after 48,000 people come in. I think this needs to happen right now. I would like us to have some consensus on how to proceed prior to the summer, and I am in support of that.
