With Professor Wesley Wark.

During his wide-ranging talk, he will discuss Canada’s intelligence efforts, speak about the role of Canada’s various intelligence and security agencies, discuss our involvement in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance and describe the challenges of countering foreign espionage services, protecting our secrets and the costs of betrayal.
