Judicial Inquiry Dept: “We basically decided it would be more than oversight; it would be central control,” said the newly appointed RCMP national-security chief, who commands 600 police across Canada from his desk in Ottawa. “There is a thorough assessment of what information can we share, and how it can be shared. What that creates is basically a need for additional resources here at headquarters.”, according to Globe And Mail. It has been three years since the Canadian government accepted a measure of blame in his ordeal, and compensated the Arar family with a $10.5-million package. This week, Mr. Arar revealed he is working with the Mounties to determine whether any foreign officials can be held criminally culpable for his torture and rCMP Assistant Commissioner Gilles Michaud told The these resources help him closely monitor Canadian investigations and scrutinize police communications sent abroad. The measures have been phased in since a judicial inquiry found that Mr. Arar, a Syrian-Canadian engineer, was mislabelled a terrorist by the RCMP before being jailed overseas. As
