From the papers I read over the weekend, my general impression is that Canada is the calmest of the Five Eyes in using this. All of the others have a more acute interpretation of security—the Americans and the British, and even the Australians. I don't have any specifics in terms of tables or quantities or times of use, yet this is the impression I get from the reading I've done. So in comparison with our Five Eyes allies, I don't think we are at all overenthusiastic in the use of the NSE. I don't think we are using it as much as the others are.
