Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to pick up on the discretionary component. Currently, when it comes to air travel, the information is collected automatically. In response to my previous question, you said that when a person crosses the border into the United States by land or vessel, the information is collected automatically by the system, so that means there isn't any real discretionary authority. It's an automatic system that generates information on travellers' border crossings. Is that correct?
