The consultation is now closed. We will closely observe the data analysis process: its duration, its transparency, and the policies that will be based on it; stay tuned!
The federal government has held an online consultation on National Security from September to December 2016. It was a long questionnaire with pointed questions and informed by a Green Paper seemingly biased in favour of what law enforcement and national security entities want. Therefore, we decided to make our answers public in an attempt to make the process more accessible for all, and more focused on human rights, civil liberties and the principles of fundamental justice.
Although the consultation is over, feel free to read and share our answers some more. They offer a detailed look at the issues with and solutions to Canada’s National Security Framework. You can read them below per topic or download them in one single PDF document here.

Since you’re here…… we have a small favour to ask. Here at ICLMG, we are working very hard to protect and promote human rights and civil liberties in the context of the so-called “war on terror” in Canada. We do not receive any financial support from any federal, provincial or municipal governments or political parties. Any donations will go a long way to support our work. On the fence about giving? Check out our Achievements and Gains since we were created in 2002. Thank you for your generosity!
