It's a very interesting question. It's hard to answer precisely for anybody who has an outsider status—like me—and who has not taken part in Five Eyes' meetings or communications.
My understanding is that Canada has been a member of the Five Eyes and was key to the expansion of the Five Eyes system. Our membership goes back to 1949, so we've been a part of this grouping for a very long time.
Our principal investment in the Five Eyes has always been in the signals intelligence and cybersecurity fields. We've expanded beyond those over the years as the Five Eyes expanded. I think there is a greater contribution that Canada could make to the Five Eyes in a variety of fields. That raises the perennial issue, for example, of a foreign intelligence service and what additional information it might provide to Canada.
There's also a role that other Five Eyes' partners look to Canada to play that we're able to play on occasion, but probably not to the strength that we should, which is in the assessment of global security threats. The threat assessment piece is an important piece with the Five Eyes, and Five Eyes partners like to get multiple perspectives on complex, developing global threat issues. We have some capabilities in that regard, but I think we could invest a lot more in the analytical side of the intelligence business, which often gets a lot less attention than the collecting side—the signals intelligence or the agent on the ground side.
