This paper examines the arguments for and against elevating the current National Security Statement into a full strategy document. The author argues that the case for a single strategy document to guide and direct policy is compelling. If done properly, it would serve as a foundation stone for the growing list of issue reviews and policy streams that constitute the government’s broad national security agenda. Done poorly, however, it has the potential to confuse lines of responsibility, complicate resource allocations and make the task of responding to future national security problems more difficult.
