Public Safety committee  It's a concern, but the question is why Canadian youth are vulnerable. At the core, we think there are social problems that produce that vulnerability. It's not just Canadian Muslim youth that are vulnerable to extremism, as we saw in Quebec City earlier this year. We'd like to s

Public Safety committee  Are you asking us?

Public Safety committee  We would welcome any changes to improve what we currently have, but as you know, the stigmatizing effect of the list still needs to be weighed against the benefits of the list, and we await evidence of benefits.
