Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Professor Wark, it's nice to see you again. Thank you for being here and providing your expertise.
I represent a riding just south of the Pearson airport and less than an hour away from the Niagara region land crossing. People in my riding are travelling to the U.S. extensively. We have snowbirds, we have students, we have business travellers, and we have vacationers. There's great interest, both in the efficacy side of the bill that you described and also in the privacy side.
I want to start by taking you back one more time to the question of how we set the line for the retention of data and put to you the cases of human trafficking and amber alerts, where in some cases, it may take quite some time until it's evident that there's a trail across the border. Without putting a number on it, would you agree that this is one of those policy objectives that should be most influential in deciding how to structure the retention of data when it comes to missing persons going across the border and being exploited, abducted, and potentially subject to other crimes, as well?
