That's right. I have stayed familiar with some of the other testimony. The person's fingerprinting history obviously doesn't change from old identity to new identity. But what happens is that we house all the fingerprint records, so we have a system that will automatically make it so you can't tie the old name with the old fingerprints; they're automatically tied to the new identity. So if a person commits a criminal act while a protectee, the criminal record is still attached to that person, although it may not appear exactly as it did before, because sometimes there may be things in the criminal record for specific dates and locations that we may have to alter a little bit so we can protect the witness. But that will remain with that individual. If the person's fingerprints are found at the scene of a break and enter, they'll run those fingerprints, and those fingerprints will be attached to that new protectee. They don't have any advantage with their new identity when they go on to commit these further criminal offences.
