At the same time, it does allow information to be shared.
That takes me to a question to Mr. Swales to follow up on Ms. Zahid, if possible.
I think my colleague's question was mostly on whether it is possible, when someone applies for citizenship, to have immediate checkups on criminal records done by the RCMP in the first instance. We shouldn't even open the file until that is done, so that we could avoid delays and avoid waiting for information that takes a long time to come before people start working on the file. It seems to me, logically speaking, that if someone has a criminal record or has a criminal accusation, obviously the case is closed, and the application won't go further. It seems to me—that was the point of my colleague's question—is it possible to do that? Going into privacy laws, is this something that could be shared by the RCMP with IRCC?
