The entry/exit system that we're discussing, that we're working on, that we are developing actively, together with our American counterparts, is an exchange of information on individuals who have entered one country. That information will then be shared. In fact, under a pilot project that's under way as we speak, it is being shared back to the country the individual just departed from. It's an exchange of data. It reflects the fact that an individual has left your country, which we wouldn't have known about before.
What this does for us, which we couldn't do before, is to close the loop on an individual's travel history. It allows us to track individuals, to be aware that persons are overstaying their visas. It allows us to monitor the departure of persons subject to removal orders. It allows us to verify that residency requirements are actually being met by applicants for eligibility in immigration programs. It will also serve the purpose of establishing a history of compliance for legitimate travellers.
To that extent, it is not an exit control system, in the sense that there's any sort of authority being exerted to prevent someone from leaving or to permit someone to leave the country.
