To answer your question, madam, concerning the availability of a fund for major cases, different models have been adapted by the offices of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, CSIS. For example, in Ontario, the office has a fund, and the information provided enables office employees to prioritize cases that they have to deal with. The same principle has been adopted in Alberta, and other provinces are currently adopting it.
I should raise one point. Jamie and I sit on the organized crime committee of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, which also represents all police departments. All police departments in the country have adopted a Canadian strategy against organized crime which consists in utilizing the infrastructure of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service in each province.
The ultimate goal is therefore to examine the image of the province, identify tactical targets and develop strategies for inaccessible targets, to raise them at the national level and to make a presentation to the national executive. Once the executive has approved the strategy, the provinces implement it. This will enable us to clearly identify the threat level and gap that exists between what we can handle and the lack of personnel.
