But with all due respect, that sounds to me very much like the implementer making all the rationale—excuses, if one wants—about some of the pitfalls that everybody's going to fall into. Number one, for example, it is not very common in Canadian culture for 13- and 14-year-olds to be walking around with documentation like OHIP numbers, like SIN numbers. They're not supposed to have them at that age. But that these would be used in breach of privacy protection for ID purposes is something that for Canadian culture is so far unconscionable.
But even more importantly, if Canadians are going to provide themselves with the security of documentation that will allow them to board a plane, in the environment that currently sees tens of thousands of new applications for passports—I'm quoting one of the ministers—over the course of the last six months, how can we deal with something in such short order?
