We created a committee. I'm referring to the Muslim community in particular. There may have been other cases of radicalization of people who weren't from Muslim families. We created a crisis committee that includes a religious authority. Imams work with us and are very involved. There are also two experienced people who work more in the social field. There are also psychologists in the community.
All this is done in the community. It's good to note that the community is now ready to look after matters itself. Each Canadian has a civic duty to help protect national security, and also a moral responsibility.
Lastly, in the cases we mentioned, without stigmatizing the community, the youth from the community decided to go to Syria. Many professionals work in psychology. The committee is starting to provide an environment that inspires trust in the young people because they don't trust things that come from authority. That's the reality. It's not only the case for the police. Even the centre, today, doesn't have the authority in the community to take steps. Certain people have reported cases to me. I'll give you an example.
Someone was contacted by a friend in Syria. I went through this case. It was only a Facebook message. So, what should be done? A network of trust enabled us to contact the police. The police gained the family's trust and were able to take quite good steps to prevent the child from turning to crime because he didn't interact with his friend. He was saved simply because the network established a relationship of trust with his community and school. Sometimes, the best way to counter this type of thing is to work with a friend of the person who can easily gain the person's trust.
