I think very much, Mr. Chair, in terms of looking at opportunities for resourcing as well as what it is that border agencies as well as government as a whole need to be able to deal with big data.... This is, in essence, a large dataset that requires specified skills to be able to analyze, disseminate, as well as potentially act upon. On the kinds of interactions needed, I think numbers are one thing, but the skill set to be able to avoid false positives, meaning errant analysis of information, as well as potentially looking at ways to speed up the process are some things that would be looked at operationally as far as being able to get to the benefits of having powers under Bill C-21 is concerned.
