Mr. Chair, I don't want to, in answer, give the impression that I'm validating a number of the alleged facts that I cannot speak about publicly.
I think my question to you, MP Lantsman, is this: Should we assume that, were police certificates to have been attained, we would have apprehended this individual? We are confident in the way our biometric system works and the progressive screening that operates in our country, and I think we should disabuse ourselves of the notion that Canada is hermetically sealed and that but for one procedure we would have stopped something. It's highly theoretical. It's quite speculative.
