Thank you for your question.
From the standpoint of national security and under the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, a crime must be an act of serious violence and be motivated by a political or religious objective for us to be able to investigate. Consequently, it takes more than a simple crime for us to intervene.
We obviously aren't a police service; we only conduct national security investigations. When an element of a case falls within the ambit of the Criminal Code, we forward that information to the RCMP, with whom we often work very closely, or to the appropriate police service in that jurisdiction. We can forward certain information so that the police service can continue its criminal investigation.
