Michel Coulombe Canada Border Services Agency and Canadian Security Intelligence Service

Linda Lizotte-Mac Pherson: Along those same lines, I would urge Canadians themselves to be alert in the wake of these very troubling circumstances, according to CTV. Goodale was joined by RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director Michel Coulombe and Canada Border Services Agency President Linda Lizotte-Mac Pherson. Speaking at a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday afternoon, Goodale said the government is being extra vigilant as they continue to monitor the situation in Paris and around the world. "Based on what we know now, there is no rationale for changing Canada current threat level, said Goodale. According to Coulombe, Canada threat level remains unchanged from October, 2014, when it was raised from low to medium days before the Oct. 22 attack on the War Memorial and Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Since the attacks, several places of worship and a Muslim woman have been targeted in Canada. The press conference held at Public Safety Canada headquarters on Wednesday, comes days after a series of gun and bomb attacks in Paris that left 129 dead and 350 injured. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
