CSE,,Communication Security Establishment When 2003 or it could be 1996 as it also says Since 1996, the CSE Commissioner, appointed under Part V.1 of the National Defence Act, Before the change, CSEC was reporting through two deputy ministers: the National Security Advisor (NSA) on policy and operational issues and the Deputy Minister (DM) of National Defence on administrative and financial matters. 2011 it was an "administrative change to make it a "stand alone" agency however their mandate remains the same and the Chief of the CSE reports directly to the Minister of Defense. If the Commissioner encounters any activity that he believes is not compliant with the law, he is obligated to inform both the Minister of National Defence and the Attorney General. It does not say what happens if they are not in compliance. Before passage of the Anti-Terrorism Act, the Criminal Code had prohibited CSEC from intercepting any communication that originates or terminates in Canada and where the originator has an expectation of privacy, defined as a "private communication". These new authorities permit CSEC to undertake activities that would previously have been prohibited. Authority enables CSEC to collect the communications of foreign intelligence targets even if those communications go into or out of Canada. The second new authority enables CSEC to intercept private communications in the course of assisting the Government in safeguarding its computer systems and networks. Similarly, CSEC may not direct any of these activities at Canadians or any persons in Canada, and satisfactory measures must be in place to protect the privacy of Canadians. Huh,, is this what we call double speak The Minister of National Defence must issue his written authorization before any activities that may result in the interception of private communications can occur. I thought a judge had to issue this but apparently not. In partnership with the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, dating to the Second World War. Specifically, CSEC maintains unique partnerships with the following organizations: National Security Agency (NSA) United States of America Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) United Kingdom Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) Australia Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) New Zealand Peaceful Marches are listed on their Harmonized Threat and Risk Assessment Methodology , here is a link cse-cst.gc.ca/map-site-carte-eng.html
