Question 4: SecurityIn 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: |
| Canada's role in promoting global security should primarily focus on combatting environmental degradation, encouraging growth of local economies, and promoting preventative health care. People are less inclined to threaten national security if their own economies are flourishing and they enjoy democratic rights. The more that Canada is seen as a leader in sustainable development the less we citizens will have to fear from external threats. Nations with a friendly supportive foreign policy are not usually the target of international terrorism. |
