Confidential Informants: Canada Border Services Agency

Canada Border Services Agency: Briefing notes obtained under the Access to Information Act say the Canada Border Services Agency uses confidential human sources willing to provide valuable details about the suspicious movement of people or goods, according to Huffington Post. The documents add that internal border agency reviews conducted in 2012 led to proposed policy changes to address the risks and OTTAWA - Newly released documents show Canada's border agency is enlisting confidential informants, prompting internal concerns about the privacy risk to sensitive institutions such as churches, schools and Parliament. The notes say while reliance on informants is a widely accepted investigative technique, it has privacy implications and can intrude upon fundamental areas of Canadian life.
