flag CSIS explores options to expand Canada's foreign intelligence-gathering capabilities.

flag An internal CSIS memo obtained under Canada's Access to Information Act explores the potential and risks of expanding the agency's foreign intelligence-gathering capabilities. flag The discussion, facilitated by former national security adviser Vincent Rigby, examines three options: creating a new intelligence service, building capabilities within CSIS, or permanently expanding its mandate. flag While proponents argue this would address growing global instability and reduce reliance on the U.S., the memo emphasizes the need for a thorough government analysis and public debate due to concerns over governance, accountability, privacy, and the risk of targeting Canadians.
