Thank you very much, sir. I have had the opportunity to comment on some of these things hereto in a way that addresses exactly the same issues.

The paradox is that there are more deaths by far caused by the automobile worldwide than have ever been caused by terrorism and probably ever will be, but that doesn't mean that the respective publics, Canadians and Americans, are less interested in terrorism. Terrorism for them is up front and close. The problem is, they expect perfection. In other words, they want our governments to be able to stop everything—no incidents to take place—and that is virtually an impossible action.
I am just amazed at how successful the two governments have been in dealing with this issue. The problem is, it's not going to get less.... There are still going to be problems of this sort. It is becoming more complicated, in the sense that we in the United States, for example, have had this problem of imitation. It's not just a question of finding out who's doing what abroad and impacting on us. It's a problem we have internally. I think this is a problem that is shared.
