Public Safety committee  I also don't have active numbers on how many warrants we're seeking. I can tell you that it is an active conversation we have in this building every day about trying to get more warrants before the Federal Court. It's something that we're working with our justice colleagues on

Public Safety committee  I will take a stab at that.

Public Safety committee  Bravely.... I'll give you one example. We are quite proud of the work we're doing in the service on our outreach. We've been actively engaged with academia and with biopharma during the COVID pandemic. We've been engaged with NSERC about FI threats to various educational institu

Public Safety committee  It's a great question. Yes, we do. We see that movement often. That movement happens quite frequently when there's a new social event that galvanizes either a conspiracy theory or some individual intent to act. Specifically with COVID-19, we have seen various groups that previo

Public Safety committee  I would say it's a whole host of things. It's recruitment, getting together and networks. It's all of those things.

Public Safety committee  Unfortunately, in this venue—and I really do appreciate the question—I can't get into operational methodologies or discuss what we do in that space. I can say, though, given the nature of the IMVE threat and the importance that we put on it as an organization, we've dedicated a n

Public Safety committee  In the early days there was some travel to various countries under the IMVE rubric. Given the COVID-19 restrictions, we've seen a lot less of that travel, obviously, for a variety of reasons. We're very actively monitoring that type of activity.

Public Safety committee  I think it's an outstanding question. Thank you. The way we look at this is from a service lens. I can articulate that the mosque shooting.... We look at things that trigger our act. In section 2 of our act, paragraph (c) is what defines whether or not we get involved from a ser

Public Safety committee  It's a very good point that you made on prosecution. That is the lane of our good friends at the RCMP and other police jurisdictions. From a CSIS perspective, those four triggers, as we've called them—the willingness to inspire others to kill others; serious violence; attempting

Public Safety committee  The predominant ideologies are the ones I discussed at the outset. Those are the ones from our perspective anyway. The neo-Nazis and ethnonationalists are one of the major groups. Anti-authority and targeting government and law enforcement is also an ideology, both in the United

Public Safety committee  It's definitely something we analyze every day, all day. The movement between the tiers is an interesting one. Unlike in a lot of the RMVE or other groups, the movement can happen very quickly. People can mobilize to that third tier and mobilize to violence very quickly. We've s

Public Safety committee  I'm not sure on that case. I can't speak of things that were monitored actively in the investigation space. The Proud Boys are probably indicative of a lot of other areas. There will be some pockets of it. The broader ideology might be mobilized to violence. There will be others

Public Safety committee  It's a great question. I would respond first by saying that this is how complex this investigative effort we undertake is, because a lot of the personal grievances and a lot of the conspiracy theories are not tied to one solid ideology that motivates a lot of other people. There

Public Safety committee  That's an excellent question, and I think it would be useful at this time to give a snapshot of how we investigate in this space, from a CSIS perspective. I think it will help articulate the space we hold vis-à-vis other people in this landscape. The way that we look at it organ

Public Safety committee  I absolutely can. Starting in 2014, we have the Moncton shooting perpetrated by Justin Bourque. In that shooting, three were killed and two were wounded. In 2015, we have the Halifax mall plot. That plot was disrupted and there were no casualties. In 2016, we have the Edmonton
