The issue of intelligence and evidence is one that's been at the forefront for a long time. It's a very complicated one, and as the National Security Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians recognized in their recent report, it has its own requirements for study and consideration.
I can speak to the operational co-operation that exists and the efforts that are made. Over the last number of years, significant efforts have been made by the RCMP and CSIS and other members of the intelligence community to do everything possible to ensure that materials that are relevant to a possible threat to the security of the country, to the safety of individuals, to our well-being and our institutions, are shared in a timely fashion and are shared in a way that's very clear, so that they are something that the police, when they receive them, know what they can do with them and what they can't do with them. That's a significant element because oftentimes in the past there have been circumstances in which the two institutions work closely but have such different focuses and mandates that the question of when and what it can be used for required clarification. That's now come.
