Mr. Chairman, I'm not sure where he's getting his information from. The rules have not changed. Every athlete was required to apply for a passport. The deadline was at the territorial trails. The problem that we're encountering now, a small number of our athletes have not received their passports and in some cases the Government of Canada, the Immigration department, is seeking more information, and we are concerned that information may not get there in time. But everybody has followed the rules; everybody has applied for their passports. The majority of the athletes have their passports, and the mission staff and everybody else that's going. There's a small number that don't have it and we are working on a plan B in the event that they don't receive their passports in time. We have no intention of reimbursing anybody, Mr. Speaker.
