Annex C

PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURES
Foundational Analysis Required:
What was the federal government's capacity to respond to
threats that existed/were known prior to September 11?
What is the nature of the September 11 event and how does
that change the nature of the security risks/threats faced by
Canada?
What capacity does Canada need to respond in the future?

I.

Existing Initiatives

Which initiatives should proceed or be accelerated?
UN Convention for Suppression of Financing of Terrorism (also
needs funding)
UN Bombing Convention (also needs funding)
Official Secrets Act
Canada Evidence Act
Reform of Foreign Missions and International Organizations Act
UN Transnational Organized Crime Convention
Transport Canada - explosives detection at airports

Of those, initiatives that were underway that may require additional
funding to be successful?

Lawful Access

meetings held in Canada in the interim)
Development of a Canada Public Safety Information Network
Which initiatives may need to be stopped/re-examined in light of
changed context and/or threat?
C-11 Immigration Act

What other legislative/regulatory initiatives should be considered?

Access to Information changes - exemptions for National
Security/intelligence information and/or agencies
II.

Capacity Gaps

What are the policy, operational, legislative, regulatory, institutional
and/or machinery gaps at the federal level?

Immigration/Refugee Claims
is administration of existing policy hampering capacity to expel
undesirables?
does backlog present security risk?
are detention facilities/documentation adequate?
RCMP/SolGen

adequacy of tools, resources and skilled personnel to discharge
responsibility?
do priorities/resource allocation need to be re-examined in light of
post-September 11 security environment?
is mandate appropriate?
do we have right information gathering tools (e.g. adequacy of
CPIC?) Can we share information as necessary for law
enforcement (e.g. between immigration/RCMP/Passport/Customs
etc.)? with the US?
adequacy of current national counter-terrorism response capability?
emergency response capability (including at community level)?
capacity to participate in exercises with the US?
Passport Office
are Canadian passport documentation standards sufficient?

�SECRET

Intelligence Community
are resources adequate? Have we adjusted intelligence practices
in light of changing technology (threats and opportunities)?
(Note: foreign intelligence review underway)
Defence/OCIPEP
is capacity adequate to protect Canada in light of new threats?
to defend Canadian airspace? Defence of the Arctic?
what new capabilities might be required?
will we need to improve interoperability with the US?
what burden-sharing requirements will Canada face from US,
including in intelligence (e.g., Future Imagery Architecture)? From
other allies?
what are implications for Canadian participation in NMD?
adequacy of protection for critical infrastructure - Federal buildings
and offices? Other levels of government? Other infrastructure e.g.
energy (particularly that feeds the US); financial sector?

Justice
adequacy of federal prosecution service
adequacy of mutual legal assistance treaties with US
adequacy of protection for justice officials

CCRA
staffing at points of entry in light of new threat

Security at Points of Entry
adequacy of federal law enforcement at airports (beyond RCMP at
three major international airports)?
adequacy of security equipment, personnel and practices at
airports?
security on airplanes?
adequacy of security at other points of entry (e.g. seaports),
including Coast Guard capability?
Public Security Machinery
are there any other institutional and/or machinery changes that
could improve the federal government’s capacity to
anticipate/respond to national security matters?
what is appropriate Ministerial forum to discuss these issues?
are existing federal/provincial security cooperation mechanisms
adequate?

-3-
