Mr. David Vigneault at the Canada-China Relations Committee

February 6th, 2023 / 7:20 p.m.

Director, Canadian Security Intelligence Service

I never put pressure on the minister, but sometimes I have fairly direct conversations with him.

This is indeed something we have said publicly. One of the things we've said is that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, which dates back to 1984, needs to be modernized. We have very direct discussions with the minister and with the government.

One of the things this committee can also do is find ways to work more effectively, while ensuring that all Canadians feel safe.
