Thank you very much.
I guess there was discussion on the question of the age of 12, and so on, and the challenges this poses. If you're travelling internationally or to the U.S., you need a passport; it doesn't matter how old you are.
But within Canada it can pose a challenge. In trying to relate to families who may be travelling this summer, last week the Minister of Transport announced that an exemption from the full ID requirement would be granted to people between the ages of 12 and 17, that is, an exemption from having two forms of ID—they don't have to be photo ID—down to one form of ID, for the summer months from June 18 to September 18.
That decision was taken in order to help families. At the same time, it was taken in the knowledge that in Canada we have a pretty robust aviation security system with other layers, which I mentioned before, and that it is okay to do this for this limited time to allow people to get their documents together.
But I'd like to take this opportunity to shed a little bit of light on the question of why age 12? How did we arrive at that age?
