Thank you very much for your question.
I'd like to clarify that Mr. Juneau-Katsuya and I are not related. We've never even met.
You're quite right to point out this issue. We actually talk about it a lot in the report we released with the University of Ottawa earlier this year. The issue of information sharing is extremely complex. Sure, it's easy for people on the outside to say we need to share more information, but in practice it's not that simple.
Some laws exist for good reason. In a democracy, there needs to be some control over this type of sharing to ensure privacy and protect sources, among other things. That said, even considering all the restrictions that must remain in place in a democracy, Canada is clearly not doing a good job of sharing information. The reasons for this are cultural, institutional and, in some cases, technological, as computer systems are not necessarily compatible.
At the end of the day, in terms of a strategy for the Indo-Pacific region, our report states that serious effort must be made to address the structural problem of information sharing and the human resources problem, which figures prominently in our report even though we did not mention it earlier. Otherwise, our ability to deal with espionage-related threats will be limited.
