“My reading package on any given day can be somewhere between 150 and 100 pieces of intelligence,” she said. “We collect a lot of intelligence and assess a lot of intelligence but what we don’t do a good job of, is giving advice to the government.”
Thomas said working in the defence when she looked at daily reading packages she focused on issues like Afghanistan and Ukraine. She said she wanted to be transparent by revealing that the information went to her in her former role, she said while she was on vacation, had the Chong intelligence been about a defence issue like Afghanistan someone in the department would have read it.Article content

She said the intelligence policymakers and ministers receive often only tells part of the story and CSIS needs to offer more analysis and insight.
