The NSIRA Act grants NSIRA full and timely access to all information held by reviewed departments and agencies, including classified and privileged information, with the exception of cabinet confidences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA will review the implementation of recommendations made in 2022. NSIRA will measure progress at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the Department of Justice and Public Safety in resolving the systemic issues with the warrants process and the identified issues pertaining to the provision of legal advice. Furthermore, NSIRA will examine and assess the implementation of new judicially authorized powers included in Part II of the CSIS Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSIRA will engage with your officials regarding this review. As the review progresses, NSIRA\u2019s review team will be in regular contact with them with requests for information. Such requests may involve documents, written explanations, briefings, interviews, and any other information that NSIRA determines to be of relevance to this review.
