As of the end of February we've taken approximately 580,000 enrollments under the biometrics protocols. These are managed and held by the RCMP, so they are very serious protocols. The RCMP is probably in a better position to explain in detail exactly how the information is handled.
Any department wanting to access it would have to go through protocols that have been very clearly vetted by the Privacy Commissioner and have met the privacy requirements.
Just out of interest, perhaps, out of that number the vast majority obviously are cleared easily. Some have an identified immigration history, but we've also been able to identify about 332 enrollments in which people have had a criminal background, and only about half of those applicants had actually indicated that to us in advance, so it has had some significant, important results for us.
