Thank you.
We've heard from a number of witnesses who talked about the threat of terrorism, and that it's evolved.
In your opening testimony you said that, since 2000, you've been warning Canadian Muslims, especially youth, about the possibility or the threat of being involved in this and then it escalating to something more severe and more serious.
I go back to my own thoughts. I remember when I heard about the Toronto 18. I'm from Toronto and I had never heard of anything like that before, not in Canada. Now it seems as if every day we turn on the news and hear there are more people who are trying to get over there to fight with ISIL, and also we hear about people who have been charged, and so forth. I think everyone can agree that it's evolved and that we're seeing this becoming more commonplace. I think the threat is definitely more serious.
The question I'm trying to get to is this. On this committee we've heard from law enforcement and from multiple people from all walks of life. But there seems to be a common thread when we talk to any of our people involved in national security or fighting terrorism and crime, and so forth. We've heard pretty much full support for the measures that are in this bill.
When we talk about some of the measures—and you seem to be supportive of them—do you agree that the threat of terrorism has evolved to the point where we need to make sure that our law enforcement or security agencies evolve with it, and make sure they have better tools to really fill in the gaps they've identified?
