Public Safety committee  There are a lot of ways to answer that question. I guess I'll start by saying that we don't necessarily have a strategy in place, but we do have mechanisms in place to assess the threat. Obviously what is happening internationally does resonate domestically, and we've seen indic

Public Safety committee  I think we've seen from the mandate letter as well that countering radicalization to violence is clearly one of the priorities of this government. We have been working on countering violent extremism at Public Safety for quite a long time now. You may even want to ask the quest

Public Safety committee  At this point that has not been decided. We're still working with our government colleagues to put proposals on paper for that.

Public Safety committee  We're always concerned to hear that someone has left the country and has been radicalized. Whether or not they convert, there's the whole process of radicalization to violence. In this case there was maybe not necessarily radicalization to violence, but there was enough radicaliz

In fact, I encourage you to ask that question to RCMP officials when they

Public Safety committee  Are you referring to measures for detecting individuals engaged in radicalization?

Public Safety committee  Within our portfolio, we, too, endeavour to target those individuals. But that's not necessarily part of the same outreach work. It's done more within the portfolio, in cooperation with the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency.

Public Safety committee  Yes. This is something that will no doubt be part of the consultation process that we want to do around the new national security framework that we want for Canada and Canadians. Yes, we're always looking to continuous improvement.

Public Safety committee  I would recommend that you ask CSIS that question.
