Certainly it's much beyond a criminal record. What we're talking about here is an individual who has been convicted of one or more serious and life-threatening crimes against aviation safety. This is not a common criminal record; this is a very special record. We're talking about these sorts of individuals.
Essentially, what you do is try to obtain information that is necessary to support this extremely sensitive decision to place anyone on the list. The information is received through various means; you have the United Nations, which lists over 200 people on a terrorist basis. So they have obtained information and gone forward with that. So you obtain information from various sources. Law enforcement has connections with other law enforcement organizations; security has connection with other security organizations.
You then have to check the reliability of the information. That is nothing strange or unusual. When you receive information, you look at it and say, how valid is it? That function is part and parcel of the analysis of the information. If you determine it is relevant and valid information, then you bring it to a larger group—law enforcement, intelligence, and Transport Canada—and make that assessment and reach a conclusion.
