New legislation on security in Canada

Expanded powers for CSIS 

The Conservative government has tabled new legislation to expand the powers of CSIS and observers say it will be exploring new tools to deal with people who openly support the views and actions of terrorists. The government’s response parallels the introduction in the United States of The Patriot Act following the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Graham Dodds, associate professor in the Department of Political Science, can evaluate the effectiveness of The Patriot Act and its implications on U.S. citizens’ freedoms.
