Question 4: Security

In promoting the security of Canadians, where should our priorities lie? Should Canada give a higher priority to military combat operations? To sectors such as intelligence gathering and analysis? Or should we focus on broader security measures, such as combatting environmental degradation and the spread of infectious disease? What should be our distinctive role in promoting global security?

Answer:
We should completely shift from the view of security we currently have. We need to see security in terms of securing the basics needs for all Canadians as well as others in the world. I believe that by following the current path of security in terms of increasing military and intelligence capabilities, we will only be destroying any of the values that Canadians value. We should work towards a world where we have food and environmental security.
