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>Enforcement flags are intelligence products designed to identify a person, business, or conveyance that may pose a threat to the safety, security, or economic prosperity of Canadians at the border. This review will assess whether the CBSA\u2019s use of enforcement flags is lawful, reasonable, and necessary \u2013 including in situations where flags are issued by, or on behalf of, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. For the purpose of this review, enforcement flags include, but are not limited to, CBSA\u2019s lookouts.<\/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, 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 https:\/\/nsira-ossnr.gc.ca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"292\" height=\"89\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/marie-sig-blackink.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7697\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Honourable Marie Deschamps, C.C.<br>Chair, National Security and Intelligence Review Agency<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3255,"parent":8673,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-nsira-subpages.php","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[19,24],"tags":[92,84,77,75,89,85],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 -
