Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chairman, let me wrap up my summary by saying that my recommendations are as follows. The first, as was stated, is to adopt evaluation measures that consist of the five factors mentioned earlier on all immigration security policies, past and present, which would move towards a more accurate balance between liberty and security.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As I was saying, ma'am, there are three elements of immigration security, as I see it. There are elements of security that could be implemented on the border, which I think is where most of Canada's attention has been focused, or they can be implemented abroad, with pre-screening measures, as well as within the interior—illegals and others who have entered the country through illicit methods.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Do you mean the four recommendations?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, honourable members of the committee. My name is Joseph Humire. I am the director of the Center for a Secure Free Society, which focuses on researching the nexus between security, defence, and economic freedom. I very much appreciate the invitation to appear before you today and regret that I cannot be there in person, but thanks to the efficiency of your staff, l'm able to present my testimony via teleconference.
