Report on foreign interference threats won't be public before election cdnpoli
Liberal MP David McGuinty and chair of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians attends a Commons committee meeting on May 13, 2019.
"We are working as fast as we can. We are putting in many extra hours. We are really trying very hard to complete the report," McGuinty told the standing committee on public safety and national security in French.Last month, the Communications Security Establishment released an update on"Cyber Threats to Canada's Democratic Process," but that report was published by an agency NSCICOP monitors.
The problem is the legislation provides for tabling reports 30 days after any redacting is carried out.To do that, the report would have had to be completed on or before May 3 to give national security and intelligence agencies time to redact cabinet confidences or protected information. NSICOP is a relatively new oversight body established in 2017. It is Canada's first oversight body given the mandate to review national security and intelligence agencies including Canada Border Services Agency and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
It also works outside Parliament and is given its own secretariat and a staff of analysts. Members are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of the prime minister.
