Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Included in this grouping are a number of people who are involved in espionage and a few who are involved in foreign interference, but I guess the group I'd like to talk about a little bit are those who have been radicalized domestically. It's a characteristic that we're finding in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Usually, second- or third-generation Canadians, who in some ways are relatively well integrated into Canada economically and socially, for one reason or another develop connections with their former homeland. They become very disenchanted and are led to contemplate doing violence either in Canada against Canadians or against someone else overseas.
The public example of this is the Toronto 18, most of whom have either pleaded guilty or are on the road, I hope, to conviction. These are people who have become appallingly disenchanted with the way we want to structure our society. They reject the rule of law, they want to impose Shariah law--they want to do a whole variety of things.
There are a number of such groups in Canada that we're investigating, as there are in the United States and the United Kingdom. That's the most worrisome part, I think, of our work today. It's the people who have been in this country for quite a while who are rejecting the very essence of what we are in Canada.
