Absolutely. Thank you for the opportunity.
One of the challenges we're always facing within the Canadian context, which Dr. Bercuson touched on in some of his comments, is that we do have a tendency to deal with the threat that has just occurred. In other words, if we look back to Air India, it took us a long time to recognize that in fact it wasn't an Indian threat—i.e. from India. There were Canadian-based terrorists, we know, in terms of some of the attacks on editors within B.C., the attack on the former premier of B.C., and so forth. It took us a long time to think in that context.
We also have had that difficulty making the mindset change when the Cold War ended, getting into the fact that we are facing some of these types of internal threats. It's always that anticipation of being able to look ahead in the context of where some of these threats are that don't fit within the examples of what we are specifically trying to face.
When we start talking about the Russian ability to hack into, say, the Democratic Party and what that then means in terms of a security threat to western liberal interests in North America, and when we start thinking about the Chinese ability to hack into businesses, is that within the context of any of the examples that the green paper gives? Are those the individuals of radicalization? No, of course not. But this is where we need to be thinking in terms of going beyond what we're dealing with right now.
