Righting Security: A Contextual and Critical Analysis and Response to Canada's 2016 National Security Green Paper
"This article responds to the Canadian government’s 2016 consultation on
national security law and policy. It outlines a series of concerns,
both with laws enacted in 2015 (and especially bill C-51) and some
interpretations of C-51 and other laws in the consultation documents. It
urges the need for a systematic and contextual understanding of the
many issues raised in the consultation. For example, information sharing
and increased investigative powers should not be discussed without
attention to inadequate review and accountability structures. Similarly
CSIS’s new disruption powers need to be understood in the context of
the intelligence and evidence relationship. The article proposes
concrete and significant changes to the current legal and policy regime
motivated both by civil liberties and security-based concerns."
