Public Safety committee  That's part of it, but it's also the expansion of our operation overseas and the expansion of operations here in Canada.

Public Safety committee  As I mentioned in my last appearance in front of this committee, the threat reduction measures used so far did not require Federal Court warrants. That's the first thing that needs to be understood. Generically, the type of activities we're talking about go from conducting an in

Public Safety committee  Well, most of the time actually there is, if you want to qualify it as a foreign influence. It's usually through the Internet and social media, from organizations such as Daesh, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.

Public Safety committee  Money flow is something that the service is looking into as a subject of investigation. Money flow is certainly something that is of importance. It's part of our investigation in collecting intelligence on the activities of the target.

Public Safety committee  As I mentioned, our first mandate is to investigate threats to the security of Canada, analyze that information, and then advise government. One form of providing advice to government is through informing our colleagues, the RCMP. If the information meets their thresholds, then t

Public Safety committee  Yes. We coordinate, collaborate, and exchange information daily with foreign partners and also with domestic partners. This collaboration includes the threat reduction mandate. Before we do a threat reduction measure, we coordinate and consult with the RCMP or other domestic part

Public Safety committee  Yes, they have.

Public Safety committee  We'd have to go back and check. We have daily information sharing, and I wouldn't be able to say if it has actually increased since the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act came into force, but I can get back to the committee with that information.

Public Safety committee  We've talked about—and it's certainly timely with the debate in the U.S.—the issue of what is labelled as “going dark”, or the inability to intercept or obtain information, despite the fact that we have Federal Court warrants. There are a number of reasons, including strong encry
