Watchdog’s relations with spy community ‘particularly strained’ over last year
OTTAWA — Newly released documents say the intelligence community's relationship with its key watchdog has been particularly strained over the last year due to a"level of resistance" to scrutiny.
It follows the recent release of intelligence review agency records that lamented a culture within the Communications Security Establishment of"resisting and impeding" independent review, frustrating efforts to ensure the cyberspy service is obeying the law. Created in 2019, NSIRA is an independent body, reporting to Parliament, that reviews all federal national security and intelligence activities to ensure they are lawful, reasonable and necessary. It also investigates public complaints regarding national security agencies and activities.
A preface to suggested"talking points" for Charette, as she prepared to meet Deschamps, noted that ministers and deputies had"been surprised by the topics raised and the level of detail discussed by the chair during bilateral discussions." The notes also cite the Privy Council Office's desire for all parties to commit to a"greater level of engagement at the senior management level" to address strategic issues and advance relationships.
