  • The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F
    Conflict Quarterly The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F. Rutan Political truth is always precious in a democracy for it always makes up the first element of justice. Political truth is always suspect in a dictatorship, for it usually makes up the first element of treason. Anon. INTRODUCTION This article is historical in methodology, descriptive/analytic in focus. It was written to offer a primarily European readership an understanding of the origins, development, structure, and functions of the new Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Canadians who are, naturally, more familiar with the history and building of the CSIS will find it somewhat basic. Persons knowledgeable in security in­ telligence affairs will find little new or exciting in it. Yet, it is important that this case study of how a democratic state faced a scandal in its security intelligence functions, and came out of the scandal with a new, legal and democratic security intelligence process, be examined and ex­ plained. There are few state systems on earth today which have had the ability and the political will to do what Canada did: to confront an in­ telligence/security scandal and turn it into a strengthening of democracy. The Commission of Inquiry Concerning Certain Activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, more popularly known as the McDonald Commission, was established in July 1977. The proximate cause for its establishment was an official statement by the then Commis­ sioner of the RCMP that allegations of participation by the force in il­ legal acts (including the break-in at a Quebec press agency office) might have some basis in fact.1 The Commission acknowledged that some members of the force might have been using methods and procedures not sanctioned by law in the performance of their duties for some time, par­ ticularly those duties associated with national defense and counteres­ pionage or counter-terrorism.

The past two years has been a difficult time for both the Halifax Regional Police (HRP) and the community they serve as, collectively, they have dealt with the repercussions of the original precipitating event, the conduct of the Inquiry and its findings. Dealing with these repercussions has distracted both the community and the police from other community oriented activities.

  • Performance Report -R- (J) W for the Period Ending March 31, 2006
    Fisheries and Oceans Canada (j) w r­ <( ~ Performance Report -r- (j) w For the period ending March 31, 2006 Canada The Estimates Documents Each year, the government prepares Estimates in support of its request to Parliament for authority to spend public monies. This request is formalized through the tabling of appropriation bills in Parliament. The Estimates, which are tabled in the House of Commons by the President of the Treasury Board, consist of: Part I-The Government Expense Plan provides an overview of federal spending and summarizes the key elements of the Main Estimates. Part II -The Main Estimates directly support the Appropriation Act. The Main Estimates identify the spending authorities ( otes) and amounts to be included in subsequent appropriation bills. Parliament will be asked to approve these votes to enable the government to proceed with its spending plans. Parts I and II of the Estimates are tabled concurrently on or before March I. Part III - Departmental Expenditure Plans, which is divided into two components: I) Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are individual expenditure plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). These reports provide increased levels of detail over a three-year period on an organisation's main priorities by strategic outcome(s), program activity(s) and planned/expected results, including links to related resource requirements. The RPPs also provide details on human resource requirements, major capital projects, grants and contributions, and net program costs. They are tabled in Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the ministers who preside over the appropriation dependent departments and agencies identified in Schedules I, I.

As there is no specific second year course in this area, the course is also designed to provide an overview of the field and acquaint students with the different ways in which modern states deal with the issue of national security. The course has been loosely organized along four themes: Introduction and overview of comparative current and historical structures; Threats and how the state protects itself from those threats; issues related to the protection of individual rights and oversight; and, finally an examination of current issues in intelligence and national security. The focus of the course is to provide an understanding of security and intelligence issues as tools of modern statecraft and to show how these factor into national decision-making as well as illustrating their impact. Requirements: The major requirement for the course is an in-depth and critical essay examining one specific issue or concept related to the topics addressed in the reading list below.
