I'd say, speaking very generally, it's probably a bit of both. We shouldn't think that radicalization doesn't occur in Canada. Terrorist networks and criminality networks work together. They use these as tools to perpetrate horrible crimes on innocent people. We've seen increased hate—anti-Semitic and Islamophobic hate, particularly in the current context—and that does impact behaviour, sometimes of younger cohorts of the population as well, as we've seen in some other apprehensions. To answer your question quite succinctly, it's a bit of both.
