He provides broad guidance to the security and intelligence community. No single minister is responsible for Canada’s security and intelligence community. A number of Ministers and senior officials, organized in a committee structure, are responsible for the coordination and management of security and intelligence issues in Canada. The membership of these committees is annexed. The Prime Minister chairs the Meeting of Ministers on Security Intelligence (MMSI), where he and other ministers: • Provide direction on major policy and resource issues related to security and intelligence; • Establish annual priorities in: - Security Intelligence (CSIS); - Foreign Intelligence (DFAIT/CSE/PCO); - Defence Intelligence (DND); and - Criminal Intelligence (RCMP). This Cabinet Committee meets at least once per year, usually in the spring. The Interdepartmental Committee on Security and Intelligence (ICSI) discusses strategic horizontal policy and resource issues related to the Security and Intelligence Community, considers sensitive national security matters, reviews proposals destined for Cabinet and recommends the annual intelligence priorities for the MMSL This Committee is chaired by the Clerk of the Privy Council. The Executive Interdepartmental Committee on Security and Intelligence (EX-ICSI) is chaired by the Deputy Clerk, Counsel and Security and Intelligence Coordinator. It provides an interdepartmental 000071 �SECRET mechanism for the identification, management and review of horizontal issues of interest to the Security and Intelligence community, with a view of bringing these issues to the attention of Ministers when appropriate. The Intelligence Policy Group (IPG), is the principal, senior policy coordination mechanism for the security and intelligence community. Chaired by the Assistant Secretary, (Security and Intelligence), Privy Council Office, it meets twice a month to ensure the management of issues requiring senior officials' attention or DM/Ministerial decision. The Interdepartmental Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Public Safety is a forum dedicated to the early identification of issues of specific concern to the law enforcement community. Chaired by the Senior Assistant Deputy Solicitor General, the Committee develops strategies, policies and initiatives to support coordinated federal law enforcement, and to enhance federal-provincial and international cooperation. Members of the Security and Intelligence Community A number of departments and agencies are involved to safeguard Canada’s security. The Privy Council plays a major role in managing security and intelligence issues in Canada. To support the Clerk in this role, the Deputy Clerk, Counsel and Security and Intelligence Co-ordinator coordinates the security and intelligence activities of all Canadian government departments and agencies and promotes effective international intelligence relationships. This senior official is also accountable to the Minister of National Defence for the policy and operations of the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). The Solicitor General Portfolio is responsible for protecting Canadians and helping to maintain Canada as a safe society. This Department provides Federal Government leadership for the National Counter-Terrorism Plan. The Minister oversees a number of agencies, two of which are key members of the security and intelligence community: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is Canada's national police service. It enforces federal laws and provides contract policing to most provinces/territories (except Ontario and Quebec), many municipalities and First Nations communities; -2- 000072 �SECRET The Canadian Security Intelligence Service is responsible for the investigation and analysis of threats to Canada’s national security. The Department of National Defence is a major member of the community, providing defence/military intelligence on issues involving the potential and actual use of the Canadian Forces abroad, and around-theclock watch on developments abroad. Two agencies of the Department have specific roles in security and intelligence: The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) provides foreign intelligence collected from electronic signals and protects the government’s telecommunications from interception; The Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness (OCIPEP) provides national leadership to ensure the protection of Canada's critical infrastructure in both its physical and cyber dimensions. The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), as part of its mandate, leads Canada’s efforts in developing effective international responses to security issues in international forums. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) manages the government’s immigration and citizenship policies and programs through a network of offices located across Canada and abroad. CIC is responsible for ensuring that Canada benefits from the global movement of people and that immigrants, refugees and visitors who come to Canada do not represent a risk. This is achieved through a series of policies and procedures that define potential risks and allow the department to deny access to any persons who pose a security or health risk to Canadian society. Canada’s Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) promotes compliance with Canada’s border, tax and trade laws and regulations. It plays a significant role at land border crossings, airports and harbours. Justice Canada provides, as part of its mandate, legal advice and services regarding security and intelligence issues. Transport Canada sets and enforces security standards for Canada’s air, land and water transportation systems. -3000073 �SECRET ANNEX“A” Membership of the Security and Intelligence governance structure Meeting of Ministers on Security Intelligence (MMSI) Chair: Vice-Chair: Prime Minister Deputy Prime Minister Deputy Ministers: Clerk of the Privy Council Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister of National Defence Deputy Minister of Justice Deputy Solicitor General Director, Canadian Security Intelligence Service Chief of the Defence Staff Deputy Clerk, Counsel and Security and Intelligence Coordinator Deputy Minister of Citizenship & Immigration Commissioner of the RCMP Commissioner, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency Chief, Communications Security Establishment Ministers: Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister of National Defence Minister of Justice & Attorney General of Canada Solicitor General of Canada Minister of Citizenship & Immigration Minister of National Revenue Secretary: Assistant Secretary to the Cabinet, Security & Intelligence, PCO -4000074 I �1 SECRET Interdepartmental Committee on Security and Intelligence (ICSI) Chair: Members: Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Vice-Chair: Council Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister of National Defence Chief of the Defence Staff Chief, Communications Security Establishment Deputy Minister of Justice Deputy Solicitor General Director, Canadian Security Intelligence Service Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Minister of Citizenship & Immigration Deputy Minister of Transport Commissioner.

ELINOR CAPLAN P.C., NLP. DRAFT SPEAKING POINTS Inspection of diverted flights Our regions report 229 flights diverted to Canada - over 44,000 passengers examined by customs and immigration. Some 203 planes have since departed Canada. Hurricane off Newfoundland affected departures in that region. Many passengers who arrived in proximity to the border made their way overland to the USA. Therefore there is no way to accurately determine the number who have left Canada. Some 1,762 passengers did not have visas they required to enter Canada and were admitted using discretionary authority. Instructions have been issued to admit travellers whose travel was disrupted this week and whose visas have now expired Increased vigilance is resulting in delays for travellers but also in the identification of an increased number of inadmissible persons. Intelligence profiles were distributed to regional staff on September 15 after receiving advice from CSIS. Refugees and asylum seekers Regular flows of refugee claimants arriving at the land border are reported to be down substantially in some regions as international air traffic to the US is virtually cut-off. In other areas, flows have been held back by US NGOs and influx is expected once more normal operations resume. Some 27 refugee claims have been made to date. Nationalities are as follows: 10 Hungary; 4 Austria; 3 PRC; 1 Afghanistan; 1 Brazil; 1 Israel; 1 Mexico; 1 Palestine; 1 Yemen; 1 Congo: Unknown 3. Seventeen arrivals were detained. We are cooperating with the International Organization for Migration, which is assisting refugees selected for resettlement in USA to reach their final destination. 000134 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In the coming days, we are going to do everything possible to minimize delays. • The Future (Preliminary Plans) • • On average we process 300.000 travellers and 40.000 commercial shipments a day and we must maintain a balance of protection and facilitation at our land border. I am concerned about security but I am also concerned about not bringing business to a stand still at major ports of entry. • I am also concerned with the peroepliun of oumo Canadians who are • questioning the levels of staffing and the hours of service at small remote ports. Given the events of last week, I propose to take the following steps: o Bill S23 which will amend the Customs Act and which is now in the House will enable us to complete-a-number of initiatives which are necessary and support the actions we must take in the current circumstances o We must accelerate the work that we have been doing with CIC and U.S. Customs.andJmmigrafinn.to strengthen our perimeter. Ambassador Celluci clearly aupporto thio approach. DFAIT, 000129 �Immigration and Solicitor General are all involved in moving this issue forward. o We are reviewing our Customs Action Plan with a view to accelerate the initiatives under way and to identify any other initiative which would increase the confidence of the public in the safety and security of the border. We have already identified some initiatives that could be accelerated if funding is available. o With respect to the remote ports, they have to be viewed as gates in the context of a long undefended border. I propose to assess this situation and develop a strategy to ensure that the security and risk issues at those remote locations are fully addressed. 000130 �SECRET Notes pour les discussions du Cabinet des ministres Situation actuelle • • • • • Dds que nous avons appris les tragiques evenements aux Etats-Unis, notre grande priorite a ete la security et la protection des Canadians. Nous avons alors pris un certain nombre de dispositions : - une plus grande vigilance immediate a tous les bureaux d’entree, - des ressources accrues pour reagir a la situation et pour s’occuper des passagers des compagnies a6riennes americaines d^routes vers le Canada, - offre de notre assistance et collaboration aux douanes americaines et aide apportee a certains de leurs bureaux. Nous continuons d'exercer une vigilance accrue a tous les points frontaliers, et nous le ferons le temps qu’il taut. Cette vigilance a provoque des congestions et des retards a certains bureaux ; tout comme les entreprises, je suis preoccupe par les consequences economiques. Au cours des derniers jours, nous avons pu minimiser les retards et les effets potentiels sur I’economie, bien que le trafic en direction des EtatsUnis demeure encore problematique 3 certains bureaux. Au cours des prochains jours, nous ferons tout ce qu’il est possible de faire pour minimiser les retards. L’avenir (plans preliminaires) Nous avons traite, en moyenne, 300 000 voyageurs et 40 000 expeditions commerciales par jour; nous devons maintenir I’equilibre entre la protection et la facilitation a notre frontidre terrestre. • Je suis preoccupe par la securite mais je desire egalement que le trafic commercial ne soit pas immobilise aux principaux bureaux d’entree. • Je m’inquiete egalement de la perception de certains Canadians qui questionnent le niveau de dotation du personnel et les heures de service aux petits bureaux eloignes. • Vu les evenements de la semaine demiere, je propose d’adopter les mesures suivantes : • c Le projet de loi S-23 qui amendera la Loi sur les douanes, presentement a la Chambre des Communes, nous permettra de 000131 �parachever un certain nombre d'initiatives qui sent necessaires et soutierinenl les mesures que nous devons prendre dans les circonstances actuelles. o Nous devons aucdlerer le travail accompli en collaboration avec CIC et les douanes americaines pour renforcer notre perimdtre. L’ambassadeur Celluci soutient de toute Evidence cette approche. Le MAECI, Immigration et le solliciteur general sont impliques pour pousser le projet de I'avant. o Nous reexaminons le Plan d'action des douanes afin d’accelerer les initiatives en cours et d’identifier toute autre initiative qui pourrait accroitre te eonfionoe du public en la-protection-et la... ceourit© d© la frontier©. Nous sunns dpja identify quelques c initiatives qui pourraient etre accelerees si les fonds sont disponibles. Pour ce qui est des bureaux 6loignes, on doit les considdrer comme des portes dans le contexte d'une longue frontiere sans defense.

National and regional electronic and print media coverage is still overwhelmingly dominated by the terrorist attacks, and continues to be driven by rumours (investigation details, search efforts, etc.). This will likely continue, although at a gradually slowing pace, until the attackers are identified and action taken. Canada’s “bad reputation" on terrorism and security issues, driven by coverage of the Ressam and other cases, will continue to keep us on the defensive on a range of aftermath issues. American public opinion is volatile, angry and looking for action against those responsible. Inflammatory language, however, has abated somewhat. Considerations Canada-US issues already promise to be key elements of agenda management this fall. The follow-up to the terrorist attacks will be a new prism through which these issues (climate change, softwood lumber, NMD, energy) are managed. The U.S. has increased its level of effort and boosted resources against terrorism. This will put pressure on Canada to move in parallel. Canada will be called upon to review border procedures in concert with the Americans. The “fight/war against terrorism" will likely become the central public theme of American foreign policy. -1- 000048 �SECRET Throughout the fall, the Prime Minister is scheduled to be frequently be out of the country. The possibility exists of inflamed tensions among Canadian ethnic communities. Current estimates are of up to 100 Canadian victims. The positive identification of remains could take several weeks. Events to be hosted by Canada: NATO parliamentarians meeting (Ottawa) IATA Security meeting (Montreal) Advance planning for G-8 NATO moves towards possible military action, commentators and opposition members will criticize Canada’s perceived inability to make a credible contribution due to a lack of military resources. possibility of Canadians abroad being targeted for participation in NATO alliance With Canadian G-8 Presidency beginning in just over three months, policy priorities may need to shift to an anti-terrorism agenda. Some kind of "Canadian link” to the terrorist acts may yet be a possibility. Security issues (borders, immigration, etc) will be the focus of attention for months to come. The adequacy of existing and proposed measures and legislation (Charity Registration, Immigration) will be measured against the newly changed security situation. The terror attacks in the United States add a potential new element to debate about “globalization” which has to date revolved around economic and sovereignty issues. There is an opportunity to redefine this issue to our advantage. The short and long term economic impact of new border measures will create early and ongoing pressure for the Government to demonstrate that it has a plan and policy agenda. -2- 000049 �SECRET Communications Objectives Reassure Canadians they are safe. Demonstrate that Canada is a valued partner of the United States and continues to enjoy a special relationship resulting in preferred treatment. Minimize any damage on Canada/US bilateral relations by being seen to address any perceived shortcomings on security issues. Prepare Canadian public opinion for possible Canadian participation in retaliatory action and additional domestic security measures. Key Messages Canada extends condolences to the families and friends of victims of the tragedy, including the Canadian citizens. Fighting terrorism has been, and continues to be, a priority for Canada, the United States and our allies. No two countries work more closely on the common goal of ensuring the safety of their citizens than Canada and the United States. Canadian authorities are working closely with the United States and our allies on security matters and are vigilant for terrorists and other individuals who may pose a threat. Canada and the other 17 NATO allies stand in solidarity with the US. Measures Taken Canada has increased a variety of security measures at airports and increased the number of security personnel involved. Canadian points of entry (land, air, sea) are operating on increased vigilance. -3- 000050 �I SECRET Canada is providing 24/7 consular services to Canadians here and abroad who have been affected by the attacks in the United States. Canada was part of the historic and unanimous invocation of Article V of the North Atlantic Charter. Canada has identified an inventory of humanitarian equipment and expertise and put these at the disposal of the United States. Canada has been and continues to provide alternate landing facilities for US bound aircraft as the US works to re-establish regular domestic and international air services. The Bank of Canada and the Government of Canada have taken steps to ensure liquidity of Canadian financial markets. While the US federal government has not yet requested assistance on a national level, some assistance has been requested at the state and municipal level. The Mine Rescue Program of the Ontario Ministry of Labour has been called upon by New York City. Firefighters from Ontario are in New York City.

Twenty-four who were at the World Trade Center are unaccounted for. Another 19 are unaccc unted for in the Greater New York area. The Ontario Chief Coroner has gone to New York to assist the Canadian Consulate C eneral in the identification of remains.

My Department’s Operations Centre ha > received over 10,000 calls from Canadians seeking assistance and information. Our missions around the world were placed < >n a 24-hour emergency operations basis in order to j rovide assistance to stranded Canadians. Most are now bac c home. We have contingency plans for assisting Canadia is and evacuating staff should this become necessary. There ai e no Canadians on the ground in Afghanistan.

The British may put a naval ve »sel off the coast which could be of assistance. We will cooperate with the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand on any evaci lations. We have also upgraded security at our missions particularly in the Middle East. 2) What our allies are doing: • We will need to decide quickly on the le\ el and kind of military support we might provide. There is pote itial for Canadian casualties. Our resolve will be tested; an 1 we will need to build public support. NATO, Israel, Australia and others have stated they will consider support for military a ition. All nations except Iraq have condemned the attack. Prime Minister Blair has been very outspoken. There are reports of suspects being detained in Germany and Belgium. France has been very supportive. European politic d leaders continue to express firm solidarity with the US but a re urging care in the use of force. -2- 000120 �s.15(1) SECRET DFAIT Business 3) The Status of Canada-US Relations: • No formal request for humanitarian assi stance has yet been received from the US. To date, all counti ies are in the same boat: the offer has been made and they i re awaiting a request from the US Federal Emergency Manag jment Administration. (DND’s Disaster Assistance Relief Team remains on standby.) However, the US has made very specific requests to its NATO allies with regards to terrorism: prosecution ion of terrorists; stopping their movement; curtailing the flow of money to terrorists; sharing intelligence; extraditingg or deporting those wanted for crimes; supporting internati >nal counter-terrorism initiatives, ending any tolerance of state: or entities that support terrorism. -3- 000121 �s.13(1) s.15(1) SECRET DFAIT Business -4- 000122 �SECRET DFAIT Business I talked to Colin Powell twice and numerous other bilateral discussions, at very senior officials’ level , have taken place as well. Powell was well briefed on what Canada has done to help at the airports. I asked him to let me knc w immediately if any evidence of a Canadian connection becoi les known. 4) The International Agenda: Short Term: • Intelligence reports on the possibility of urther terrorists attacks on a larger scale continue to surface, leading to increased edginess in the US. Also, the IS has revised upward the threat assessment against their missions abroad. The crisis could have an impact on a nui iber of international summits. The General Assembly will go ihead, but without Foreign Ministers, to avoid protocol, tra ffic and security problems. Security for all other summ ts has to be reevaluated, including the forthcoming Cojmmonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, the Francophone Summit, and our G8 events next year. President Chirac and the EU Presidency will visit Washington this week. The OAS Permanent Council meets tomorrow on this issue. The Italians proposed a special G8 sum nit on terrorism, but the Americans said that a G-8 leaders’ s atement would be enough at this time. The Russians have Circulated a draft statement which is short on specifics. W: are working on the draft to make it a strong, action-oriente 1 statement and it 5 000123 �S.15(1) SECRET DFAIT Business could be issued later this week. The US vf ill also expect terrorism to be high on the agenda of th Canadian G-8 year. There could be benefit in using the G8 to advance a Comprehensive Terrorism Convention,« omething we could think about for next year. There is also need to look at implementation of existing initiatives. 7e have two ratifications outstanding: the ConventioA Against Terrorist Financing; and the Convention against Ifombing. \ e should also strengthen control over potentially dang jrous exports by adopting catch-all provisions in our exp< rt control regulations. Long-Term: • Last week’s events have transformed th< international agenda, and will have far-reaching consequence* domestically as well. -6- 000124 �SECRET DFAIT Business With respect to follow-up to the attacks, t will be important that we take concrete initiatives: greater (resources for security, intelligence and law enforcement, possib e tightening of immigration and refugee determination, and perhaps increased defense expenditure. These events will affect all Canadians, ev|en if we manage the border and multilateral cooperation wel . We should not under-estimate the impact on our econoihy and the overall government agenda.

GENERAL DISCUSSION (Proposed time: 10:00 -11:45) Terrorist Attacks Against the United States [PCO Briefing Note at Tab 1a; Deputy Clerk’s presentation and speaking points at Tab 1b - Cabinet document to be tabled at meeting, Ministers’ Eyes Only, not to be taken from the room', Minister MacAulay's speaking points at Tab 1c: Minister Eggleton’s speaking points at Tab 1d: Minister Manley’s speaking points at Tab 1e; Minister Collenette s speaking points at Tab 1f; Minister Cauchon’s speaking points at Tab 1q; Minister Caplan’s speaking points at Tab 1hl [Attending: Claude Laverdure, Foreign Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister, Privy Council Office; Richard Fadden, Deputy Clerk. Counsel and Security and Intelligence Coordinator, Privy Council Office; Giuliano Zaccardelli, Commissioner, RCMP] You could lead a discussion on the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001 and their implications for Canada and the government’s agenda. On September 11, terrorists launched a series of attacks against the United States using hijacked commercial airliners, resulting in heavy loss of life. Three Canadians were passengers on the hijacked planes and many Canadians remain unaccounted for in New York City. The attacks had immediate implications for Canada as a result of the closure of American and Canadian airspace and the diversion of more than 250 aircraft to Canadian airports. In addition, security was heightened at border crossings and at federal buildings and foreign embassies. 000025 �I -2- SECRET The terrorist attacks could have significant implications for the government's international and domestic agenda. The unprecedented invocation of NATO Article 5 and the high likelihood of American retaliation against terrorist targets could have major implications for Canada’s armed forces. The attacks have raised the profile of domestic security issues, particularly with respect to controls at points of entry and counter-terrorism activities. As the closest ally of the US, Canada may be asked to cooperate on a wide range of security-related issues. Implications for Public Safety It will be important to carefully assess the impact of last Tuesday's events on the public safety environment in Canada, and take action to address any legislative or operational gaps. Canadians need to have confidence that the government is prepared to deal with threats to their safety in a way that is consistent with Canadian values. There are a number of items currently before Cabinet and the House that affect airports, immigration, and security that may have to be re-examined. Strengthening intelligence and security will be one of the top priorities of the US government. This will place pressure on Canada to take a position on the question of a secure US perimeter and whether Canada is inside or outside that perimeter. Officials are re-examining security and public safety issues in light of last week’s events and will be advising you and Ministers on short and medium-term implications. Further discussions at Cabinet will be required over the coming weeks Implications for the Government's Agenda The government’s policy and legislative agenda will undoubtably be affected by the events of September 11, both in terms of the content and the timing of specific initiatives. 000026 �-3- SECRET Officials are currently examining the broader policy implications of the September 11 events, including possible impacts on Canada’s foreign relations and with respect to important international events, such as the 2002 G-8 Summit in Kananaskis. The terrorist attacks and the American response to these attacks could also have a significant impact on the world economy if the flow of people, goods and services are affected. Beyond the increased profile of public safety. Ministers will need to further discuss the implications for the government’s fall agenda, particularly in light of potential economic and fiscal consequences.

There are extensive efforts pursued by Canada and the United States to address the security dimension of the leaders’ mandate on border cooperation. • Canada and the United States are bound together not only by geography and history but also by shared democratic values such as commitments to the rule of law and freedom of belief and political expression. • Canada and the United States have a long history of successful cooperation in combating terrorism and transnational crime bilaterally and multilaterally. • Joint investigations and operations, and the sharing of information and intelligence, demonstrate the unique relationship between our two countries. • Maintaining an effective defence against the threats posed by international terrorism requires measures by both countries to improve immigration security and curb transnational organized crime. • Fighting terrorism and transnational crime and other illegal activity requires continued vigilance and coordinated action at the policy and operational levels by national law enforcement, intelligence, security, customs and immigration agencies. The Canadian and United States governments regularly review the need to allocate new resources to these agencies. -2000081 �SECRET • Canada and the United States have established a broad range of mechanisms to strengthen our security, while at the same time facilitating the legitimate movement of people, goods and services between our two countries. • Canada and the United States are working together to promote our common security against terrorist efforts to use modern information technology for fundraising, communications, recruitment, planning and intelligence gathering and commercial off-the-shelf technologies that threaten the integrity of travel documents, money laundering and other crimes. • Canada and the United States realize that they must engage the world community in the fight against terrorism. • Multilateral cooperation is essential as global terrorism and international crime cannot be successfully dealt with unilaterally or bilaterally. Canada and the United States strongly support all UN Conventions on terrorism and have signed and are implementing the UN convention against Organized Crime (“Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children”, and the “Protocol Against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Air and Sea"). Both countries participate actively in G-8 fora such as the Counter-Terrorism Experts Group and the Lyon Group on transnational organized crime. • Terrorism is an evolving phenomenon. Canada and the United States must remain alert to the changing face of terrorism and, in cooperation with like-minded countries, continually develop methods to defeat the terrorist threat. -3000082 �SECRET 1. Intelligence/Counter-Terrorism Cooperation • Objective is to improve the ability of U.S. and Canadian security and intelligence agencies to work together to reduce the terrorist threat in our two countries and combat new threats posed by cyberterrorism, biological, chemical and radiological attack. Canada Monitor and amend the National Counter-Terrorism Plan, as required, to reflect changes in threats and policies (last revision, May 2000). Develop a broad-based strategy to strengthen Canada’s national counter-terrorism response capability (ongoing). Enact domestic legislation to ensure conformity with the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings (signed, not yet ratified). Partnership Maintain the excellent cooperation between Canadian and U.S. officials engaged in the fight against terrorism. Tabletop counter-terrorism exercise conducted by senior officials in February 2000 and another planned for February 2002. Since 1998, the United States has provided Canada access to their counter-terrorism database This year Canada has begun reciprocated access to similar Canadian data. Explore opportunities for joint interdiction activities Share intelligence on “computer-assisted terrorism” - the use of information technology to facilitate and assist terrorist activity and, in cooperation with like-minded countries, develop methods to counter these new challenges. - Continue joint Research and Development projects to strengthen counter-terrorism capabilities, including explosives detection, boarding pass examination, decontamination foam, X-ray systems, and emerging threats. -4000083 �SECRET Optimize formal information sharing agreements between all major Canadian and U.S. agencies. Renew guidelines for coordinated public affairs during a terrorist incident and exchange of liaison officers. Expand counter-terrorism cooperation through regular meetings of: U.S./Canada Bilateral Consultative Group on Terrorism; Counter-Terrorism Research and Development Group; Trilateral Chemical and Biological Conference; G8 Counter-Terrorism experts and practitioners; NATO Special Committee; Quantico Conference on Counter-Terrorism and new (1999) Organization of American States’ Inter-American CounterTerrorism Commission. Maintain close liaison through FBI officers stationed in Ottawa and RCMP liaison officers stationed in Washington and Miami, and CSIS officers stationed in Washington, D.C. FBI and RCMP to co-sponsor bi-annual national security workshops for federal enforcement agencies on agency roles and responsibilities, protocols for multi-jurisdictional investigations, and current national security threats. Develop initiatives on joint training and a coordinated response to an incident involving Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear terrorism. -Ona case-specific basis, station U.S. and Canadian liaison personnel in each others’ counter-terrorism units. Continue joint training by military counter-terrorism units. 2. Resources for Counter-Terrorism • Objective is to provide appropriate resources for U.S. and Canadian security, law enforcement and intelligence agencies to address the evolving terrorist threat to North America. Canada As part of Budget 2000, CIC received additional funding over five years to address illegal migration and processing issues. -5000084 �SECRET Program integrity funds, approved by Treasury Board in June 2000 and directed to strengthen Interdiction and Intelligence, increase Investigations and Removals, enhance enforcement activities at Ports of Entry (POEs), augment Hearings and Appeals and improve Screening. CSIS and RCMP received additional funding to fight terrorism and organized crime. Canada Customs and Revenue Agency is receiving additional funding up to C$87/US$60 million over five years (1999-2004) to improve its capacity to implement border initiatives. Advanced Passport readers are currently installed at all international airports. Multiple agencies are exploring the use of these readers. Improved scanning technologies at airports. Digital passport and additional security inclusions to detect passport alterations.

Canada K1A 0A3 SECRET MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRIME MINISTER IMPLICATIONS OF SEPTEMBER 11. 2001 (Information Only) SUMMARY The initial fall-out from the September 11 attack in the US has been effectively managed. We now need to begin to consider the implications of these events for the government’s agenda and priorities, as well as the next steps required to ensure we are in a position to address the associated challenges. To assist in moving forward on this issue, we have compiled a series of documents, annexed to this note, which address a number of key related issues and considerations. I will be working with Deputy Ministers to continue to review the policy implications of Tuesday’s events over the weekend and into next week. Ministers will have a first opportunity to address the issues at next Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, but further discussions will be necessary. We will need to discuss in more detail how to proceed to address the implications for the government’s policy agenda. 000038 �-2- SECRET Details Further to my frequent discussions with you on management of the situation since the terrorist events of Tuesday, we have now begun to take stock of the impact of these events on the overall agenda of the government, as well as the specific public safety implications. To this end, we have prepared a preliminary analysis of the impact of Tuesday’s events on the government’s agenda (Annex A). This analysis examines these impacts across a range of areas (domestic security issues; fighting terrorism; economic and fiscal impacts; impact on the government’s agenda and relations with other countries; and public communications) and a series of time periods (immediate impacts, to the end of October, to February, 2002, and beyond). You will need to keep in mind that this analysis does not yet capture the many possible interactions across time periods and across policy elements. Nor does it fully take into account the implications of unknowns such as: possible follow-up terrorist actions in either the US or Canada; the impact of Canadian participation in any retaliation (particularly of a prolonged duration); or the potential US reaction in the event of a proven Canadian connection to Tuesday’s events. However, this analysis does show that there will be an inevitable impact on the timing, pace, and substance of government priorities over the fall, as well as potentially significant fiscal implications. In doing so, it points to the need to look at a range of issues, including but not limited to the public safety domain, in managing the government’s response to the terrorist attacks in the US. A note detailing the economic implications is being forwarded to you under separate cover. We have prepared a more in-depth analysis of the public safety issues that will need to be considered in managing this event, both for the immediate time frame and beyond: for the immediate time frame (Annex B) the main considerations are communications and emergency operational steps (such as increased airport security) that are already underway; 000039 �-3- SECRET beyond the immediate response, there are a range of issues that will need to be explored to develop a full understanding of the impacts of the September 11 events on the public safety environment in Canada (Annex C). In assessing specific public safety initiatives as part of its response to this situation, the government will need to address fundamental considerations, such as the balance between individual rights and collective interests, and set priorities and make choices as it moves forward to identify appropriate initiatives. Annex D provides a sense of the kinds of questions that will need to be asked in striking this balance, and outlines other considerations that could shape the nature of future federal actions. I have also included background information on the organization of security and intelligence matters in the federal government (Annex E). and a summary of actions taken since the Ressam incident by Canada, either alone or in partnership with the US (Annex F). PCO Comment In response to Tuesday’s events, the government will need to take stock of impacts on the agenda as a whole. It will be important to look beyond the September 11 attack itself to consider: the heightened and likely enduring level of public interest and concern on public safety matters; the need to ensure the safety and security of Canadians in this new environment; and possible changes in our relationship with the United States in particular, and the rest of the world in general. It will also be important to re-examine the priority areas for the fall to determine whether they are still appropriate and whether other issues rise in importance (e.g. public safety, foreign policy, defense capability, etc.). We will need to review the pace and sequencing of federal initiatives, particularly in light of potential economic and fiscal consequences. 000040 �-4- SECRET For these reasons, it will be important to take time to assess and analyze the full implications of the September 11 attack. I will be convening meetings of Deputy Ministers this weekend and into next week to reflect on this analysis and provide you and all Ministers with advice on short and medium-term implications. Cabinet will have an initial opportunity to discuss the situation on Tuesday of next week, at which point I would expect the focus will be on preliminary reactions to the situation. We will need to address how best to structure discussion on these issues in the weeks ahead. In this regard, we will need to discuss the appropriate Ministerial forum where participating Ministers can dedicate sufficient time and bring a broad variety of perspectives to the table.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2001 • My comments tills morning will cover five key areas: • Defence activities in the aftermath of this attack; • The assistance Canada has offered to the V.S.; • Our domestic capacity to deal with serious disasters; • The potential implications of this attack on Canada-U^. defence relations; • And finally, the wider international defence implications of this terrorist act. • Since the attack on Tuesday, my Department has taken several steps in response. • First, the Canadian Forces worked with the ILS. in NORAD to monitor and control North American airspace. • While this task is part of normal routine, we assigned additional aircraft to NORAD, placed them on a higher slate of alert and dispersed them across the country. • Eight additional CF-18s were assigned to NORAD, bringing our total commitment to twelve. landed in Whitehorse. • Second, we hove assisted other agencies including Customs, Jmmigraliuu and the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service. • CF aircraft have ferried blankets and cuts to eastern airports to deal with diverted aircraft and passengers. DND facilities have also been used to house stranded passengers. • Finally, the Canadian Forces were placed on alert and CF military Intelligence lias been assisting its U.S. counterparts. • On Wednesday my Deputy made a formal offer to the ILS. authorities in Washington of resources that could assist in post-attack efforts. • • The offer included resources from my department. Health Canada, Transport Canada, the RCMP as well a« provincial and nongovernmental medical resources and some private sector capabilities.

'CO 000114 �SECRET (CO • It is also playing a coordinating role nation-wide and is working closely with the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. • To this point the U.S. has not made any specific request of us for humanitarian or recovery assistance. • These operational issues, while significant, are relatively straightforward. • In my view, the harder part of the equation will be dealing with the potential implications for Canada-U^. defence relations, our own crisis response capacity and for the international security environment. • What can we expect on the bilateral level? • This event will become a defining moment in Canado-L-S. defence relations. Our long-stated commitment to jointly protect North American security win be tested. • There is no doubt that the U.S. focus on the defence of its homeland is now at its sharpest. How Canada responds will come under intense scrutiny. • I believe that bilateral security discussions for the foreseeable future will be dominated by the “homeland defence” issue. • Here, Canada can expect to come under significant pressure. The U.S. will wont to treat North America as a single defensive space. • If tliis comes t<i pass, from a security perspective, our national border will have little relevance. • We will have to think quickly and thoroughly about the wide range of fundamental Issues this course of action would inevitably raise for Canada. • In doing so, we must recognize that the challenge is significantly broader than simply the law enforcement and military aspects of protecting North American security. • First, attention must be paid to re-assuring citizens about their security. That, by the way, also includes ensuring that any reprisals against certain communities in this country are not tolerated. • Second, we must lake a comprehensive look at how this country deals with the terrorist threat Canadians will look to the national government for leadership, • This is a government-wide issue that will require action in the areas of legislation, policy and resources. • Beyond our counter-terrorism response is the question of our readiness to deal with the worst case scenarios. • We need to focus ou our ability to provide federal government assistance to Canadians in the aftermath of an incident involving mass casualties, devastation and the threat of further destruction. 214 SECRET (CO I I 000115 �SECRET (CC) • We have dealt competently in recent years with disasters such as the ice storm and with potential disasters such as Y2K. • But the events of September 11th changed our basic planning assumptions. • We need to reassess our capacity as a national government to handle our emergency planning, response and recovery roles - including scenarios which until recently would have seemed beyond comprehension. • As the Minister responsible for Emergency Preparedness, I consider it essential that we ensure we have the capacity to perform to a standard Canadians have the right to expect of us in times of severe distress and danger. • The potential international defence implications of this attack are no less significant than the bilateral ones. • In the NATO context, the Alliances’ security agenda has changed in an instant • For the first time in its history, NATO invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. • Article 5 states that an armed attack against one of the Allies shall be considered an attack against them all. • The implications are not merely symbolic. • There can be no doubt that the U.S. will take military action. If the U.S. seeks NATO assistance, Canada and the other Allies will be expected to honour a long-held Treaty commitment. • The Prime Minister told Canadians that we will be a part of any NATO action. • It is important to understand that with Article 5 in force, the principle of self-defence enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter is also in force. • There is no need to seek a further legal basis to take military action. • While Article 5 only obliges Allies to assist as they deem necessary, authentic participation in any effort will become a “test of loyalty” for Washington’s Allies. • Failure to measure up will exact a high price. • For Canada, our unparalleled economic and political relationship with the U.S. is potentially at risk. • Even if the U.S, chooses to act alone militarily, the NATO Article 5 decision significantly constrains the Allies’ scope for criticizing U.S. actions. 3/4 Wc pf t rrci 000116 �SECRET (CC) • In addition, unilateral U.S. military action does not necessarily place Canada on the sidelines. • We have approximately six hundred CF personnel serving in NORAD, U.S. headquarters and with U.S. Forces, including combat units. Canadians also serve on NATO airborne warning aircraft. • The potential implications of this attack on the wider international security context are equally momentous. • First, close L’.S.-Russia cooperation in the fight against terrorism may transform their broader security relationship. • A strong contribution by Russia on terrorism and weak support from NATO Allies could kill the Alliance. • Second, the end product of a shifting international security agenda could well be the return of a great divide in world politics, but this time NorthSouth rather than East-West. • Finally, if the U.S. seeks to build a coalition of the willing to fight terrorism, who joins and who declines will re-order security relationships globally. • The international stakes are high and it is vital that we prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead on all fronts. • Canada must quickly and thoroughly think through its position on potential U.S. military action and the ultimate implications of our commitment to NATO. • How Canada reacts will probably define the Canada-U.S. relationship for the foreseeable future in every aspect, not simply defence. • In conclusion, we must not under-estimate the significance and severity of the challenges that could lie before us nationally, bilaterally and internationally. • At the national level, we potentially face unprecedented and sustained scrutiny from the public, media and Parliament around the government’s capacity to provide its most fundamental service - the security and well being of its citizens. • We ignore this dimension at our peril. • On the bilateral and international level, the security environment has shifted fundamentally and permanently. • Canada needs to focus without delay on how to respond to this change. • We must do this to protect Canada’s most vital national interests and to protect Canadians. 4/4 SECRET (CO 000117 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The RCMP and CSIS are working closely together on the investigation along with other federal agencies involved, particularly Canada Customs and Citizenship and Immigration. Both agencies continue to provide full cooperation and assistance to their US counterparts and follow up on leads as they are provided by US law enforcement and intelligence agencies. In particular, both agencies are following up on names supplied by the FBI by conducting interviews and database checks. The RCMP has also established a toll-free line for members of the public to call in potential investigative tips. Since being activated they have received hundreds of calls. 1 000107 �s.15(1) SECRET Draft September 17, 2001 8.13(1) CSIS has a number of active investigations underway and is carrying out interviews across the country with people who may be able to assist in the investigation. On the domestic front, the RCMP continues to assess the threat to US and Israeli interests as “High” and has upgraded security accordingly. A “No-fly” order over Parliament and 24 Sussex Drive was also requested and issued and remains in effect. And the RCMP are also providing support, where necessary, to airport operators in the implementation of new' security measures. I want to underline that, to date, none of this investigative activity, either Canadian or American, has established any evidence of a Canadian connection to the attack of September 11. For Canada, the attack demonstrated that our own public safety and security are not separate from the United States. We weren’t the physical target but we were in the line of fire as a result of our shared values, our close geographical proximity to the United States, and our economic and technological interdependency. This is a fact of Canadian life and will not change. 2 000108 �SECRET Draft September 17,2001 We must, in the short term, work with the US and other allies to find and bring the culprits to justice. We will expose ourselves to greater risk by doing so. The more we act in concert with the US, the greater the terrorist threat to Canadians both at home and abroad. We also have to bear in mind that for our American friends there is one overarching interest in Canada right now - and it relates to whether we are doing everything we can to ensure their security. However, right now there is no direct threat against Canadians or Canadian interests. Our challenge now is to capitalize on initiatives that we currently have underway, develop new instruments and build our capacity. Financially, this will cost, both now and later, but Canadians will expect this. The government, over the past few years, has made significant progress in strengthening the legislative and policy framework to respond to the threat. For example, we have made investments in public safety with an additional Si.5 billion to the public safety envelope. Bill C-16 is another step in our fight against terrorism. It may not go far enough for some but it is good public policy and will respond to a problem. I would like to see both Bill C-l 1 and C-16 in statute as soon as possible. 3 000109 �SECRET Draft September 17,2001 If I take Bill C-16 further, I will need to be in a position to announce that we will be doing more. Next, working with my colleagues around this table, particularly the Minister of Justice, I would like to bring together legislation which will help us prosecute and stop terrorists. This package would include amendments to implement three international conventions dealing with terrorist bombing, terrorist fundraising and the safety of UN personnel, a renewed Official Secrets Act, an amended Canada Evidence Act, and a legislative basis for preventing recruitment and other forms of terrorist support activities. This national security and anti-terrorism bill would be a major step in facilitating the prosecution of terrorists and I think we could move forward quickly on this. This would be responsive to the concerns that Bill C-16 does not go far enough. I seek your support for an initiative to see where else we can strengthen our legislative, administrative, intelligence and operational capability to respond to terrorism. Areas which come to mind include countering terrorist use of technology, enhancing measures at airports and other ports of entry, creating a strategic research and development program and examining what measures can be put in place offshore to enhance security at home. This list is not complete but is simply an example of directions we may wish to pursue. After consultations, it can be expanded. In closing, I want to repeat that the government has been building a strong counter-terrorism regime for a number of years. The way forward should 4 000110 �SECRET Draft September 17, 2001 continue to be measured and effective, and we should not let recent events force us into ill-considered action. 5 000111 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Coordinator, Security and Intelligence, initiated contacts with relevant departments and agencies. A major coordination effort has been ongoing ever since. •Throughout the past week, the Prime Minister has been in frequent contact with relevant Ministers who have a direct role in the management of the situation. •Some of the measures initiated as a result of the immediate response to the events include: •Immediate closure of both American and Canadian airspace once the nature of the attacks became clear; • Diversion of over 250 aircraft with thousands of passengers aboard to a dozen Canadian airports. All flights within the US and Canada were grounded. •Operations Centres in various departments/agencies were activated; •Immediate alerts were sent to points of entry at all airports and border crossings. •Security was increased at federal buildings, but the government remained open and continued to provide services to Canadians. 2 000002 �|. j C-Mrrertcf Carafe GowweBMiiCara* 1*1 Pm-fCwdCftte axesuduCcrstiorwi CURRENT SITUATION • Canadian lives lost • Air traffic has resumed • Commercial and automobile traffic returning to normal at cross border points • Heightened security at all border points • Further attacks not excluded SECRET • 3 Canadians were passengers aboard the hijacked planes. • Many Canadians in New York City remain unaccounted for. • First steps toward the normalization of air travel in Canada began on September 12,2001. •All diverted flights have departed Canada.

This has been communicated to U.S. authorities via our Embassy in Washington. No requests have been forthcoming (OCIPEP to update). •The international security intelligence community does not exclude a possibility of additional attacks against the US.

The Prime Minister talked with President Bush. He also talked with President Chirac, Chancellor Shroeder and Prime Minister Blair (the latest to be confirmed - call should happen this p.m.) US Response •Colin Powell (September 14) « This has become a new benchmark, a new way of measuring the relationship and what we can do together in the future, and what kind of support we can provide to you in the future across the whole range of issues and activities » NATO response - Art 5 • Under article 5 of NATO, there are various forms of response up to and including the use of armed force, in self-defence. This is fully consistent with the UN Charter. UK Response •PM Blair showed early commitment to support US response to terrorism. We fully expect that UK will be the favoured bilateral point of call for robust military action, if such a route is chosen by US. Australian response - ANZUS Treaty •They have offered full support to US and have invoked, for the first time since 1952, the ANZUS treaty - showing active political solidarity.

A public security and anti-terrorism framework which includes a mix of policy, legislative and operational initiatives is being developed for consideration by Ministers. Resources will be required. • Our capacity to deliver on these initiatives will also have to be re-evaluated] •Finally, US perceptions (Administration, Congress and the public) of Canada's support to them internationally as well as our domestic security framework will play on important role over the next weeks/ months/years in managing this situation. 6 000007 �Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive Terrorist Attack on the United States Cabinet Meeting September 18, 2001 SECRET 000008 �Government of Canada Gouvemement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive SEPTEMBER 11,2001 • Unprecedented terrorist attack on the United States • Immediate government action initiated - Closing of airspace - Diversion of air traffic to Canada - National alert SECRET 000009 �lifeE Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive CURRENT SITUATION • Canadian lives lost • Air traffic has resumed • Commercial and automobile traffic returning to normal at cross border points • Heightened security at all border points • Further attacks not excluded SECRET 000010 �Ixj: Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive DOMESTIC SECURITY CONSEQUENCES FOR CANADA • Short-term • Medium-term • Immediate implications for legislation/ policy/resources SECRET 000011 �Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive U.S./ALLIED RESPONSE • • • • U.S response- imminent (« drain the swamp ») NATO - Art. 5 U.K. response - («shoulder to shoulder ») Australian response - ANZUS Treaty invoked SECRET 000012 �Government of Canada Gouvernernent du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive Long-term implications • U.S. military actions: security implications • Legislative, policy and operational initiatives • Gaps SECRET 000013 �Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive Attaque terroriste r centre les Etats-Unis Reunion du Cabinet 18 septembre 2001 SECRET 000014 �■ Al Government of Canada Gouvemement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive 11 SEPTEMBRE 2001 • Attaque terroriste sans precedent contre les Etats-Unis • Reaction immediate du gouvemement - Fermeture de 1’espace aerien - Deviation du trafic aerien vers le Canada - Alerte nationale SECRET 000015 �GoverntTiertofCanada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive SITUATION ACTUELLE • Des Canadiens ont perdu la vie • Le trafic aerien a repris • Le trafic commercial et automobile revient a la normale aux postes frontiere • Securite accrue a tous les postes frontiere • Possibility d’autres attaques SECRET 000016 �Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada Privy Council Office Bureau du Conseil prive CONSEQUENCES POUR NOTRE SECURITE INTERIEURE • Court terme • Moyen terme • Implications en termes de legislation, de politiques et de ressources SECRET 000017 �Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada I Privy Council Office Bureau du Conserve RIPOSTE DES E.U.
