Mr. Speaker, pursuant to section 53 of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, I am pleased to table, in both official languages, the SIRC annual report 2005-06. It is an operational review of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
The SIRC plays an important role in assuring there is an effective and independent review of CSIS's work. Canada's new government believes in maintaining vigorous programs to safeguard our national security.
The committee found that CSIS's activities were in compliance with the CSIS Act, ministerial direction and operational policies and it offered a few but important criticisms of how CSIS is fulfilling its mandate.
