The threat to the low-profile Five Eyes partnership is limited but still real. If the risks became a reality, the progress that Canada has made in the past 18 years in putting accurate intelligence at the service of informed decision-making would be lost. This would have a direct impact on Canada’s ability to contribute to the resolution of the problems being discussed at this conference.
