A newly released report from Canada’s spy watchdog urges federal agencies to strengthen safeguards to prevent Canadian complicity in torture committed abroad. The watchdog says some parts of the federal government should improve how they handle and share information with foreign counterparts, where such sharing could contribute to mistreatment. The report focuses on ensuring that intelligence and related information are not used in ways that enable torture, either directly or through inadequate risk controls. It recommends that agencies take clearer steps to assess the risk that information provided to partner countries could be linked to abusive practices and to ensure that decisions about sharing are guided by robust protections and oversight. The watchdog’s message is aimed at improving compliance and accountability across the agencies involved in international intelligence cooperation. The reports presented by the outlets agree on the core finding that stronger measures are needed to reduce the risk of Canadian involvement in torture, particularly through information-sharing processes.
