The disruption powers could permit CSIS to thwart travel plans, cancel bank transactions or covertly interfere with radical websites.
CSIS coasters are pictured in Ottawa in a 2011 photo. A new report from the federal spy watchdog says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service failed to adequately consider the serious adverse effects on people and their families when using its powers to disrupt potential threats.
For instance, the disruption powers could permit CSIS to thwart travel plans, cancel bank transactions or covertly interfere with radical websites. The review agency focused on the extent to which CSIS appropriately identified, documented and considered negative effects that the spy service’s measures could have on people.
The watchdog says the precise content, including the scope and breadth of the information to be disclosed, is important and feeds into the overall risk assessment of the proposed measure. “A detailed and precise description of the information to be disclosed would allow for more considered assessments.”
The current CSIS process for determining whether a warrant is required for a threat reduction measure “is overly narrow” and should not be based on the effects of a spy service action alone, the report says.
