G20 Foreign Security - ISU & CSIS

[CHIMO]

We started this segment with part of a recording first broadcast on APTN, the Aboriginal People's Television Network. APTN says the voice is that of a CSIS agent telling an Aboriginal protester to watch out for foreign security agents in Canada for the upcoming G-20 Summit.

CSIS will neither confirm nor deny that the person speaking on tape is a CSIS agent. But the tape has sparked questions about the powers foreign security agents will have while working in Canada.

The RCMP has formed the G8/G20 Integrated Security Unit (ISU), which is comprised of the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police Services, Peel Regional Police and the Canadian Military. For an idea of how they'll work with foreign security, we reached Sgt Tim Burrows of the RCMP's Integrated Security Unit.

Ron Atkey is a lawyer and professor of national security law at York University and the University of Western Ontario. He was the first chair of SIRC, the Security Intelligence Review Committee, the watchdog for CSIS. He was in our Toronto studio.

You will have to dig around to find the audio.

1. I did see the video with this...

This was an interesting listen Chimo thanks for posting, not sure how I missed it, and I should focus more on the audio material that is out there, it is great to listen to two-wy conversations and discussions.

I did see the videoclip with this supposedly CSIS agent. I think CSIS has a right to discuss something like this with an organization, it is certainly far better than not saying anything at all (as they do so often). I don't think this is necessarily a CSIS agent though, could just as likely had been RCMP.
