House of Commons and Canadian Security Intelligence Service

Canadian Security Intelligence Service: A bill introduced in the House of Commons on Monday would allow the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, to spy internationally and would grant anonymity to informants in court cases, according to The Chronicle Herald. Bill C-44, the Protection of Canada from Terrorists Act, was set to be tabled last week. That got pushed back when the House of Commons itself was hit by a violent attack by a gunman and New legislation would essentially reverse the rulings of two court cases lost by Canadas spy agency. The agency had previously sought both of these things but was rebuffed by the Federal Court and Supreme Court of Canada, respectively. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
