I'm sure it could be helpful, particularly in the sense that one has to keep in mind that, of course, it's not impossible to track through various existing means individuals who may be on the move and may be of concern for various reasons to the Government of Canada. You could do that through interactions with foreign partners, through organizations like Interpol, Interpol notices, and so on, but it's always nice to have your own. This is where I would put the benefit of entry-exits. It's always nice to have your own source of information about exit data so that you don't have to rely entirely on the assistance of foreign partners, at least in some initial tracking of where people might have gone. That requirement to be wholly dependent of foreign partners becomes more problematic the more difficult the foreign partner might be.
