Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you both for being here.
Mr. Yaworski, in listening to your comments, you stated that you believe the greatest threat to Canada and Canadian interests continues to be terrorism, particularly that emanating from Islamist extremism. I also noted that you said it is best represented globally by al Qaeda and its affiliate organizations. You mentioned recent events in North Africa and the Middle East that have provided new opportunities to these groups. Is it necessary to reinvigorate the provisions we're dealing with, and if so, why? Do you agree with me at the outset that this is a continuing and present threat?
