Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the panel. I know it was short notice. I know it's sometimes difficult to get to these things with a long notice, and I do appreciate your being here.
I would like to clarify a few issues. To the Canadian Arab Federation, I heard you earlier when you made your presentation, and you said how 9/11 directed a focus to racial profiling. I'm sure you're quite well aware of the number of security certificates that have been issued in this country. You'll not be surprised if I tell you there are really only two. Immediately after 9/11, there was a third one, plus one more, a Russian individual who decided to go home because of industrial espionage. There have been only three, and 28 certificates have been issued since 1991. Would your suggestion not seem illogical that immediately after 9/11 we started to focus on one group of people?
