Canadian Security Intelligence Service
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) was
founded by an act of the Canadian Parliament, Bill C-157,
"an Act to Establish the Canadian Security
Intelligence Service (CSIS)" to be a replacement for
the floundering Royal Canadian Mounted Police Security
Service. The RCMP, which is Canada's federal police
service, was at one time also responsible for
intelligence duties.
CSIS's mission statement is as follows: "The people
of CSIS are dedicated to the protection of Canada's
national security interests and the safety of
Canadians". As per this statement CSIS does not have
an active foreign intelligence department, but solely
acts as a kind of "internal security" to
protect Canada from internal and external threats. This
means CSIS officers and surveillance personnel do not
officially work outside of Canada's borders.
Some of the tasks included in this
mission, known as 'Operational Programs' include:
Counter-terrorism
Counter-proliferation (eg. preventing the spread of
weapons of mass destruction)
Counter-intelligence
Security-screening
Research, Analysis and Production (eg. creating strategy
for the implemention the Operational Programs)
Environmental scanning (eg. monitering the global flow of
information, see also: Echelon)
Facing Technological Challenges
CSIS has come under repeated criticism for some highly
publicized failures, such as the seeming fumbling of the
investigation into the 1985 Air India bombing and the
theft of classified documents from the car of a CSIS
agent at a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game.
