Thank you.
When Professor Martin Rudner testified on Bill S-7 before the Senate committee on April 2, 2012, he noted that various terrorist organizations see it as necessary to reach out and get human resources for the struggle for the downfall of the apostolate regimes and to prepare in fact for the next stage, which is the declaration of a caliphate, to be followed by the total confrontation with the infidels.
They see themselves reaching out to citizens of western countries in particular, in part to gain passports—their right to travel freely—in part to get local knowledge and networks, and in part to get skills. The kinds of people they target are young, single, physically fit people with higher education, especially in science and technology, and people who have become highly motivated through radicalization and are committed to jihadist ideology.
If your opinion, do you agree that terrorism remains the greatest threat to Canada's national security at this time?
