The national intelligence watchdog has begun its look into the failure of Canada's spy service to disclose crucial information when seeking warrants.
Murray Rankin, chairman of the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, said in an interview the examination is of "critical importance" to Canadians and the agency has the tools to do the job.
Federal Court Justice Patrick Gleeson found the spy service breached its duty of candour to the court, part of a long-standing pattern. Federal ministers quietly asked the review agency last month to examine the findings and provide recommendations on how to address the concerns raised by the court's decision.
The ministers have asked the review agency to make regular progress reports to the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.
