Mr. Speaker, yesterday CSIS director Jim Judd told a Senate committee that many veterans of terrorist training camps currently live in Canada. While not specifying how many terrorist suspects were in the country, Mr. Judd said that the number has three digits. He also said that terrorism is a very real threat to our national security. He went on to say that Canadian terrorists are bolstering the ranks of terrorists currently fighting in Iraq.
Clearly the government has no idea how many terrorists continue to be active, slipping in and out of Canada.
Could the minister simply state the number of terrorists active in Canada? Has it increased or decreased since 9/11?
