My understanding of what the Prime Minister said when he testified before the POEC was that he took into account different considerations than CSIS did when making the determination as to whether or not the definition of paragraph 2(c) was met, and he also viewed paragraph 2(c) to be more broad.
I don't think he said that. I think he said something to the effect.... I think the CCLA had him acknowledge that the thresholds were the same, but then subsequently, when asked what factors led him to believe that paragraph 2(c) was met, he listed a variety of threats, violence and weapons, etc. that he relied on to make that decision. I suspect that CSIS would have also relied on all of those factors when making its assessment. It didn't seem to be anything that would not have been subject to CSIS's consideration.
