He was a good colleague and a dear friend. His commitment to public service continues to inspire us. Chair's Message Ottawa, ON - December 21, 2018 lt is my honour to submit the first An nuai Report of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians. The Annual Report marks the first time that Canada has had a committee of Parliamentarians cleared to examine issues of national security and intelligence. This Committee takes that responsibility very seriously. ln our first year, we have conducted 54 meetings totaling 220 hours as part of our commitment to understanding the roles and responsibilities of Canada's security and intelligence organizations and the issues that affect them. 1 am proud of the dedication and engagement of the members -from all parties and from both the House of Commons and Senate -who have shown great commitment and collegiality. Our work has demonstrated that there are issues which are beyond partisanship -accountability, the security of Canada, and the protection of our democratic rights and freedoms. ln the coming year, the Committee intends to maintain an ambitious pace. We will continue to meet with departments and agencies, with our allied counterparts, with academics and experts, and with civil rights groups to ensure that our work continues to be relevant and well-informed. As we review national security and intelligence activities and organizations, we hope that our findings and recommendations strengthen the accountability and effectiveness of Canada's security and intelligence community. Finally, 1 encourage Canadians to read our report and the many excellent documents produced by the departments and agencies responsible for the security of Canada. While Parliamentarians, review bodies and government officiais work on behalf of all Canadians, there is no substitute for a citizenry that is well-informed of the risks facing Canada and the measures in place to address the m. 1 hope that the work of this Committee contributes to better informing debate on issues that are of fundamental importance to Canadians.

Wilson (previously produced as Cedargrove Series #52/2019 – May 2019) *********************** EIC HISTORY AND ARCHIVES *********************** © EIC 2019 PO Box 40140, Ottawa ON K1V 0W8 +1 (613) 400-1786 / [email protected] / http://www.eic-ici.ca THE CEDARGROVE SERIES OF DISCOURSES, MEMOIRS AND ESSAYS #52/2019 150 YEARS OF CANADIAN ENGINEERING: TIMELINES FOR EVENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS by Andrew H. Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.

  • Open Letter To
    Open Letter To: Justin Trudeau, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Youth Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs James Carr, Minister of Natural Resources Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Dear Justin Trudeau, Carolyn Bennett, James Carr and Catherine McKenna, We learned recently that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is proposing massive changes to the license for the Chalk River Laboratories, site of a proposed radioactive megadump, including removal of 28 conditions of the license itself and removal of several hundred “compliance verification criteria”. We are appalled at this radical move toward deregulation to benefit the multinational consortium, Canadian National Energy Alliance, whose Canadian partner, SNC Lavalin, is currently debarred from the World Bank for ten years and facing criminal charges in Canada for fraud, bribery and corruption. Our two groups along with First Nations, scientists, municipalities, individuals, and the Quebec Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development are very concerned about the consortium’s plan to emplace and eventually abandon one million cubic meters of radioactive wastes in a giant mound on the side of a hill, next to a swamp, less than one kilometer from the Ottawa River at Chalk River, Ontario in unceded traditional Algonquin territory. As we and many others have stated, in comments on the environmental assessment for this misleadingly named “Near Surface” Disposal Facility, the proposed giant mound flouts international guidance, would exceed public dose limits for radiation for 100,000+ years and would contaminate the Ottawa River, Canada’s most recently designated Heritage River, which provides drinking water for millions of Canadians downstream all the way to Montreal.

  • Hack Moscow Secret Code Russian Spies Used Kaspersky AV to Hack NSA Staffer, Swipe Exploit Code – New Claim
    hack moscow secret code Russian spies used Kaspersky AV to hack NSA staffer, swipe exploit code – new claim. Russian government spies used Kaspersky Lab software to extract top-secret software exploits from an NSA staffer's home PC, anonymous sources have claimed. The clumsy snoop broke regulations by taking the classified code, documentation, and other materials home to work on using his personal computer, which was running Kaspersky's antivirus, sources told the Wall Street Journal. It is alleged Kremlin hackers exploited the security package in one way or another to identify those sensitive files and exfiltrate them. In effect, it means the Russian government has copies of the NSA's tools used to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and equipment to spy on other nations and targets. It also means Russia can turn the cyber-weapons on American corporations, government agencies and other networks, and steal secrets, cause merry havoc, and so on. The theft, reported today, is said to have occurred in 2015, but apparently wasn't discovered until earlier this year. The allegedly stolen NSA code and dossiers sound an awful lot like the Shadow Brokers archive of stolen agency spyware. The brokers' pilfered exploits dates back to 2013, though. And this case is not thought to be related to the former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor Harold Thomas Martin III who stashed classified NSA materials at his home to study. Martin was indicted in February and faces prison time for removing top-secret files from his employer's workplace, if convicted. He denies any wrongdoing. "Whether the information is credible or not, NSA's policy is never to comment on affiliate or personnel matters," an NSA spokesperson said.
