Certainly today's serving members deploy under the current legislation. There is a level of analysis done at the highest level of the Canadian Armed Forces, and recommendations are made to the minister prior to their deploying.
That said, there's nothing better than having boots on the ground or eyes on the ground to offer a specific assessment. Through the initiating directive from the chief of the defence staff, the chief orders the force employers to make an assessment and a justification for special duty operation or special duty area.
There is also a report—it is a classified report—that is generated by the task force commander who is on the ground in that area, making recommendations related to that risk. They consider the threat intelligence report as well, and that is all rolled into one report.
