As a consumer, it takes years to get an understanding of the information in front of you, and you need regular engagement with a range of actors to be effective in turning the information that you see into actual, effective decision-making. This is why I say we need to change the intelligence culture in this country.
We need to speak more frankly with Parliament and with parliamentarians. We need to speak more often with Canadians about what intelligence is, so that when they are elected to represent us here in the House of Commons, they have a basic understanding of how intelligence works.
