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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of the reporting requirements set out in the ACA: subsection 7(1) requires that deputy heads submit a report in respect of the implementation of ACA directions during the previous calendar year to the appropriate Minister before March 1; and subsection 8(1) requires that, as soon as feasible after receiving a report under section 7, the appropriate Minister provide a copy of it to NSIRA, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, and if applicable, the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We request that these records be provided to the attention of The Honourable Marie Deschamps, NSIRA\u2019s Chair, via the NSIRA Leadership Mailbox (<a href=\"mailto:leadership@nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\">leadership@nsira-ossnr.gc.ca<\/a>) or CTSN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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, system access, written explanations, briefings, interviews, surveys, and any other information that NSIRA determines to be of relevance to this review. This review may also include independent inspections of some technical systems. NSIRA\u2019s expectations for responsiveness are available online at <a href=\"https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca\">https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thank you in advance for your cooperation and support to the independent review process, which is key to transparency and democratic accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Honourable Marie Deschamps, C.C.<br>Chair, National Security and Intelligence Review Agency<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dist.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Honourable David J.
