Respectfully, the timing issue has to be secondary to the consideration of our national interests. What that means is to ask what other countries do. One of the things other countries do is operate foreign intelligence services, precisely, among other things, for the purpose of gathering information to lower the degree of risk they would be exposed to with respect to decision-making processes.
I fully appreciate the great difficulty a member would have when getting pressure from a group of people or a community of people seeking to expedite something. While that is understandable, it is secondary, I believe, to the concerns of the security of the state.
Again, what we need to do is put into place those systems, those procedures, and if necessary those additional capabilities to allow us to do the job in an efficient and timely manner, and with a view to our primary consideration, which is national security.
