As we are targeting foreign entities outside of Canada, we have to be very convinced that those foreign entities are linked to a foreign threat, or a foreign intelligence priority of the government. Just because that person is speaking once to somebody who has an innocuous conversation does not mean we stop targeting the foreign entity. Therefore, any subsequent conversations with that foreign entity would also be reviewed, and the analysts of those targets would appreciate, over time, if they sensed a change in the behaviour, or if there were a Canadian involved, he or she became more susceptible to radicalization.
