The director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) will testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry in the coming weeks that his agency did not consider the convoy protests of last winter a national security threat under the legislation that establishes the agency’s mandate, according to a summary of his interview with the Public Order Emergency Commission.
“At no point did the Service assess that the protests in Ottawa or elsewhere [those referred to as the ‘Freedom Convoy’ and related protests and blockades in January-February 2022] constituted a threat to the security of Canada as defined by section 2 of the CSIS Act, and that CSIS cannot investigate activity constituting lawful protest,” says CSIS Director David Vigneault’s interview summary.--
