Public Safety committee  In terms of the regulatory process, there's a standard....Legislation drafts the broad framework and then the regulatory components lay out the specific requirements, etc. They will be...in point of fact, work has already begun on those. We're not waiting for the legislative proc

Public Safety committee  Some of this falls under the ambit of the Minister of Public Safety. You're asking a framework question on the way in which the government is going to approach it. This is an important building block. It was a gap within CSE's mandates that they were constrained on the help they

Public Safety committee  Really briefly, in some ways we're trying to clarify where CRCC's lines are and where NSIRA will be in terms of the conduct of national security reviews. I think conduct complaints and those kinds of things are clarified. Gilles.

Public Safety committee  You may have noticed some nodding and long faces. This is a very complicated issue.

Public Safety committee  Working with our friends in the Department of Justice, there are conversations and discussions going on, because it is a Justice and Public Safety dialogue with our colleagues in the provinces and the territories. There is, I would say, a general consensus that we need to do bett

Public Safety committee  Well, that's for the committee to make a determination on.

Public Safety committee  I will say that it's a very complicated issue that, frankly, from the officials' perspective and engaging, I don't think I'm revealing anything.... I probably am, but....

Public Safety committee  I'm not sure we need a legislated provision for that. This is an issue that is really important, and we are, as I say, actively engaged. The challenge, to be frank, is that there are quite profound issues around the way information is gathered and the constraints on how it can be

Public Safety committee  I would like to add that there is now a five-year review of the terrorism legislation.... John what's the full title of the act?

Public Safety committee  I think that question was raised during the first hour. Of course, it will have a positive impact because Agencies will, I think, have greater clarity over what their expectations are. This was an issue that we discussed, frankly, in the early days of the deliberations around t

Public Safety committee  There are no uniquely specific provisions in Bill C-59 to deal with the question of violent extremist travellers. There are elements of Bill C-59 that provide the tools and assets for the agencies that will improve our ability to safeguard Canada from any threats that may present

Public Safety committee  When talking about a specific case, we are all constrained, so I think we'll need to respond to your question in a general way. With that, I'll turn it over to Monsieur Michaud.

Public Safety committee  There's no question that it's a very important element. The principal element is the work that's led by the Canada centre that operates out of the department. It works with local community groups and provides funding and support for initiatives in Montreal, Calgary, Toronto, and

Public Safety committee  I would say actually we are leaders. We work closely, particularly but not only, with Five Eyes partners on understanding trends, but again in the same way that the interventions in Calgary are different from the interventions in Montreal, the interventions in Sydney, Australia,
