Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'd like to thank the witnesses for attending and for their participation here.
I'd like to direct my comments to the minister.
When I travel around my constituency, which I've done the last couple of weeks attending various fall suppers, inevitably the discussion goes to the activities of ISIL and ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Of course my constituents are concerned. They become much more concerned when the threats are made against Canada.
How safe are we really? Should we feel comfortable or should we feel angst? I know you've discussed a little bit the interaction between the various departments. The sharing of information on a weekly basis is good. But we live in an instant society. We don't wait for our weekly meetings, and I'm sure terrorists don't either.
Can you expand on that a little bit? How much do your departments, the security agencies, the border patrol, the RCMP operate in silos? Is there a central database? Can you tell me a little bit about the fluidity and exchange of information?
