A Conversation That Matters with Lt. Col. Harjit Sajjan

Episode 40 Lt. Col. Harjit Sajjan

A better way to fight terrorism

This week’s Conversation That Matters features Lt. Col. Harjit Sajjan who says there is a better way to fight terrorism than Bill C-51.

The veteran of two tours of duty in Afghanistan and a former gang squad team member with the Vancouver Police says nothing beats person to person contact. He points to his intelligence gathering on gang members and on Al Qaeda.

Lt. Col. Sajjan says electronic surveillance equipment is merely a tool. He says, “the most valuable resource in counter-terrorism is human. Highly skilled security forces that know how to target threats and then get inside the network to develop true intelligence.”
