Yes, it was birthdate. Naturally the Bloc took that as gospel, but the minister, it seems, neglected to say that airlines are required to provide passport number and country if they possess it, and they will possess it.
I think the only difference of substance between Mr. Guimond's list and the required list is the passport information, plus the redress number, which is to the benefit of the passenger. I don't think it's worth being out of compliance with United States law for the sake of a passport number and country.
I'd like to make one other point and ask for confirmation from the witnesses.
I have here a list of the items of information that will be required in the regulations, which have not yet been officially drafted. It's that list you read earlier. My assumption is that the items you will include in the list will be the minimum required to be compliant with U.S. law. Is that correct?
