CANADIAN BIOMETRIC ID DOCUMENTS: A Public Forum
Thursday June 15, 2006  6:00-9:30 PM ET
biometricIDforum.ca

The possibility of having some form of biometric ID document in Canada
has been in the news again recently. What is being considered? What are
the implications of different options? The Canadian government has said
little about what it is planning. Join us in person or online to hear
the experts, to ask questions, and to make your views heard.

This forum includes a live, interactive webcast. See our website
http://biometricidforum.ca for more details about the forum and the issues.
