Mr. Rudner: I am also of the view that a very high proportion of the teaching about intelligence comes from American sources, open source intelligence.

However, such additional collection will be of limited value unless other important matters receive your attention: better use of open source information; a significant increase in assessment and analytical staff, especially focused on fusion centres; a positive change to Canada's intelligence culture, something which is not easily achieved but I believe is crucial if best use is to be made of any increased collection abroad; change in the review and oversight methodologies that currently exist; and enhanced coordination and cooperation within the intelligence community as it exists.
