Body:
The collection of secret intelligence enhances Canada’s ability to safeguard its national security with respect to terrorism, espionage, and foreign-influenced activities. The government’s appetite for timely and useful security intelligence has never been greater in this continually evolving, and diverse, global threat environment. How effectively our government uses intelligence to carry out its national security policies (law enforcement, support to military operations, diplomacy, and threat mitigation) relates directly to the usefulness of unique, and exclusive, secret information.
We will take a deep dive into how intelligence is collected, review the complex world of disclosure and advisory mechanisms. We will acquire an understanding of the rationale underpinning the controversial threat disruption powers (Bill C 51), which strengthened Canada’s national security regime.
