It's not about strengthening the bill. It's about making sure that we use effectively the capabilities we have. The U.S. has vast capabilities that it uses on a regular basis, in part to prevent a change in the international balance of power. That is not primarily Canada's objective, although Canada's objective is inherently to uphold the status quo.
Canada's outline in the last paragraph of my statement [Technical difficulty—Editor] three clear focal points of red lines that Canada will not tolerate and where adversaries will know that Canada will deploy, either alone or with its allies, these active or offensive measures as provided for in Bill C‑59. The problem is that Canada has not been willing, by and large, to engage in these measures, with some exceptions of hunt forward teams when it comes, for instance, to issues such as those of Ukraine.
Canada needs to be a bit bolder in how it uses the powers that the agencies have been granted to defend Canadian interests.
