Interview Question:

Question 1: Canada is, and has been, one of the safest nations in the world–safe in the sense that we are far removed from the possibility of conflict on Canadian territory. With your expertise in public policy, international, and defence issues, how do you see Canada’s security concerns? Should Canadians pay more attention on security-related issues? – 0:00

 

Question 2: How do you perceive current developing tensions around the globe? What is Canada’s potential role in the global community, and how should Canada approach to these tensions? – 15:05

 

Special thanks to Elena Ferranti, Administrative Assistant at Massey College, and Lionel J. Widmer (audio recorder/editor) from the NATO Association of Canada for their efforts in making this interview possible.
