Thank you.
Madam Chair, I have a few comments on this, if I may.
I think it's more than just multiple doors of intelligence being produced and then disseminated. We do know—and I think the committee has heard—about the enormous volumes of intelligence that are created every year. Over 60,000 intelligence reports are created in Canada alone, let alone within the Five Eyes. It's hard to go through and distill and be aware. It's a reality. I'm not saying anything more than that.
The other thing I've experienced is that it's one thing to inform about intelligence, but there is always the question, from a client perspective, of what you do about it. What does it mean? That's often a comment back from a reader or a consumer of intelligence. They say, “So what happens now? What do I do?”
I think that's something on which more innovation, if I can use that word, is needed, but there is a balance between collecting and assessing intelligence and informing the decision-maker. Those are things that need to be balanced out. That is one of the improvements—or refinements, one could say—that the system is looking at, but it is something that has been heard.
