Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to our witnesses, Ms. Palmater and Inspector Irwin, for joining us this morning. I enjoyed listening to your testimony.
This committee has heard a wide range and variety of opinions on the issue and the concerns. Probably without exception, we've heard from witnesses that there is a very real threat of terrorism to Canadians. Certainly Bill C-51 is an attempt to modernize the tools that law enforcement agencies have in dealing with this very real threat.
Inspector, you spoke of the evolution of threats. Certainly we've heard in the past that there's rapid advancement, evolution, and modernization of the things jihadi terrorists are using as weapons of their mission. I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit more about our need to keep pace with some of the modernized techniques that the jihadis are employing.
