What happens is that we do this initial screening based on what the RCMP or we, ourselves, might know. As people progress through the system and go through the determination process, we also work with our national security partners to do security screening. That ensures that, as a file is ready for a determination by the Immigration and Refugee Board, we have a complete picture. We might discover in the intervening period that there are some concerns, and that's often when some of these other things are brought to our attention.
