Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
In a recent article, Dr. Bercuson, you stated that Canadians were apathetic about defence issues. I'm wondering what steps should be taken to convince Canadians that terrorism is a real threat.
Recently, I was down in the United States and I was talking to some American military officials who basically said that this is the number one priority they face. It's a life-and-death issue in the United States. They view the war on terror as a life-and-death issue, yet here at home we don't seem to think of it in that particular way. What do we need to do here in Canada in order to perhaps see it in a more important light than we currently do?
