Thank you so much.
Thank you to both of our witnesses for your testimony today.
My first question is for Ms. Ramalingam from Moonshot.
We've been trying to get you here for quite some time. I want to thank you for the work you're doing and for being here today.
Since 2014, CSIS has identified 10 plots—seven attacks and three disrupted plots—that killed 26 people and wounded 40 on Canadian soil. They identified all of these plots. Four were incel. All of them involved far-right or incel attacks.
When NSICOP tabled their report, they mentioned that in the last two years, “CSIS has uncovered extensive ideologically motivated violent extremism...(notably right-wing extremist groups)...through online activity and physical attacks. The sizable increase in this activity throughout 2020 suggests [that] the terrorist threat landscape is shifting. The primary physical threat to Canada remains low-sophistication attacks on unsecured public spaces.”
Given what independent agencies like CSIS are reporting, does it not make sense that the Government of Canada would be funding your research on those threats?
