Public Safety committee  Certainly there are numerous reporting requirements. They're set down by Treasury Board for any program, and this program is no exception. There are reporting requirements. I would have to check on the degree to which they're open to the public. So we do have to do reporting. I

Public Safety committee  What's your vision of what would be reported?

Public Safety committee  Again, it just depends on the numbers. I know that statistically if the number is too small, it actually raises privacy issues, but within that context, we don't see that there would be any difficulty.

Public Safety committee  Yes, I think we probably do have those numbers.

Public Safety committee  It's the law of Canada. We're subject to the Privacy Act. I'm just saying that I'm aware from other work I've done that depending on your sample and so on, you have to be a little careful if the number is very small. But perhaps again one can work with that. There just has to be

Public Safety committee  No, not at all. Absolutely not. This is the only program. There is no other. We are working very hard on this program at present. There is no approval or plan for another system. Our priority is this system. We are not making any plans to establish another system.

Public Safety committee  Thank you. I should say that with this program there is no aspect of racial profiling. We object to it. I personally consider racial profiling to be repugnant and unacceptable. We are concerned about certain people who have made certain decisions in their lives. This is our pr

Public Safety committee  Yes, thank you, that is good.

Public Safety committee  Yes, very well. There are specific directives governing the activities of the people concerned. There are precise things to be done and no group is targeted: that is not what it says. We are talking solely about activities of individuals. So that is clear. However, we can recon

Public Safety committee  Essentially, for all our security activities, there is a process of assessing risks and of basing judgment on the ability of a particular measure to be of assistance. We also look at actions by other countries, and so on, in this regard, as was mentioned, to try to help us in rea

Public Safety committee  I'm not sure I quite understand. One thing I can say is that the power under which the minister would deny boarding is a 72-hour power. So the denial of boarding is an emergency direction by the minister. That's the legal framework in which we operate, a 72-hour window, assessi

Public Safety committee  But how would we know...? Okay, I'm phoning up; you're phoning up; you're saying you're me--

Public Safety committee  Again, now we're getting into falsified ID. If you're denied a boarding pass--

Public Safety committee  I've been denied boarding passes, you know, but not because I'm on a list.

Public Safety committee  It was mentioned that if you put a sticker on your window, the criminal goes somewhere else. So that's one thing. Why look for trouble? We're trying to protect Canadians on flights coming to Canada; that's one point. Another point you mentioned is falsified documents. If you're
