B.C. Premier David Eby wants access to foreign interference information to prevent crime
British Columbia Premier David Eby is pressing for urgent access to information from Canada ’s spy agency to help combat foreign interference at the provincial level, citing allegations involving transnational organized crime, cybersecurity and murder.
He described a series of situations with alleged foreign links, including the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh leader who was shot last June in Surrey, B.C. B.C. solicitor general Mike Farnworth said last month B.C. was confident recent cybersecurity attacks on its computer systems were likely the result of a state or state-sponsored actor targeting government networks.
Public Safety Canada says the amendments to the act are intended to allow CSIS to make “broader disclosure” of information beyond the federal government. “I am grateful for your introduction of the amendments to the CSIS Act that will assist CSIS in sharing information with me and relevant provincial authorities,” said Eby’s letter. “This information sharing is long overdue.”
