Public Safety committee  Well, what we are trying to do is make sure that we understand the underlying threat so that we can try to prevent that sort of activity happening into the future. We definitely are always very concerned about any serious acts of violence that can impact the national security of

Public Safety committee  I can't speak to certain investigations that may be ongoing, but we are definitely concerned with any acts of violence that impact national security and could threaten Canadians.

Public Safety committee  I can't speak to what may be happening in the operational space in an unclassified environment.

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Madam Chayer. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand that the committee has voted to include the remarks that Tim Hahlweg, my predecessor, delivered to you last year on the same topic. Since I'm sharing my time with ITAC's executive director, I'll do my best to be succi

National Defence committee  I would second that. I fully believe that we really need to have open communication, to discuss and raise the issues and to encourage anybody to report an incident.

National Defence committee  We work very closely with our partners around the world as well as with our domestic partners to really educate and inform the critical infrastructure, the various business enterprises, industry and our own government departments to shore up their resources and protect their cybe

National Defence committee  No, I would not, because as I noted earlier, every country needs to find the mitigation measures that work in its specific instance, and we all work extremely closely to share information to make sure that we're all helping each other protect ourselves as we move into the future.

National Defence committee  As I noted earlier, we work really closely with our partners because, as Mr. Doherty pointed out, I did say that we're only as strong as our weakest link, and because we all work so closely together to share each other's experiences, to learn and to develop, I would not say that

National Defence committee  CSIS has a very active recruitment program to look for the right talent, and we are always exploring new ways to find the right talent and bring them into the service.
