Typically, the national security agencies—the Canadian Security Intelligence Service or the RCMP—will put forward an individual they believe has met the threshold for cancellation of “reasonable grounds to suspect” that the person is a threat to national security or is suspected of participating in the terrorist acts that are noted in the passport order. They would prepare a rather detailed case brief on the individual who they believe meets the threshold. There would be a discussion at the table with national security experts. That decision would be discussed and referred to the minister or a delegate to make the decision.
