Well, the simple answer to that is yes. I and a number of my colleagues have been saying for years now that we have been neglecting national security issues. The IRGC is on the list of threats we have been neglecting, but it is far from the only one.
Look at the whole debate on foreign interference that is going on right now. I would bring to your attention the report that a number of my colleagues and I did at the University of Ottawa two years ago. There was a task force that had a number of former directors of CSIS, former national security advisers and former deputy ministers of defence and of foreign affairs. The bulk of that report was a call to action on the cost of neglecting all of these threats, which included the IRGC. That was only one of the many threats we highlighted, which also included cyber, economic, espionage, money laundering, terrorism, extremism, China, Russia, India and so on.
