Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
A little earlier, we saw that no one took responsibility for illegally transferring medical files. Unfortunately, we know that the medical files of Canadian citizens were passed on to a foreign government. I hope we will identify the person responsible for that mistake — I hope that it was one — and that the necessary changes will be made.
That causes a problem for biometrics. During a meeting of another committee, the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, representatives from various services told us that biometrics were the way of the future and would truly protect Canadians from individuals who lend their passports to their brother, their sister, or to people who should not enter Canada. The problem is not with the reliability of biometric technology, which is highly developed, but with the safety of information transmitted to you, in particular information on Canadians.
We have already been told that it's almost impossible, in the case of problems that are relatively much simpler, to bring information together so that people don't enter Canada when they are not authorized to do so. That requires a major change. How are you going to undertake that change?
