Conservative Government and Homegrown Terrorists

tracking system: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck OTTAWA - The Conservative government appears set to miss another target date for delivering a border tracking system that could stop homegrown terrorists from joining battles overseas, according to Brandon Sun. And with just days left in the parliamentary calendar before a fall election, it is unclear when — or even if — the necessary legislative and regulatory changes will come. The Conservative government appears set to miss another target date for delivering a border tracking system that could stop homegrown terrorists from joining battles overseas. Under the Canada-U.S. perimeter security pact, the federal government committed to begin collecting records of people leaving Canada on international flights as of June 30, 2014. However, a newly obtained internal briefing note shows federal agencies were eyeing October of this year for completion of the project. It missed that deadline and would not reveal a new date, saying only that information would be provided in due course. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
