Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Once again, I thank our witnesses, who have given us a lot of information that will be useful when we write the report and the recommendations.
I'd like to speak to Ms. Goldthorpe and Ms. Long about biometrics.
Several recommendations have been made about the biometrics being done in Canada. Just think, for example, about students arriving from countries where there is no service centre. They would find it useful to have them done here.
So that we can understand this and include it in the report, can you remind us what biometrics are, what they are used for, and why there are no risks or issues in having them done here, at the end of the process?
