Canada’s Public Safety Minister, Steven Blaney, recently mentioned in his remarks on Tuesday that the new legislation to be presented by the Canada’s Conservative government is aimed at closing loopholes and gaps within the existing system. According to Blaney, these loopholes allow people considered as terror threats to evade authorities so the new legislation will provide more powers to police and security agencies in order to eradicate these loopholes. The legislation is anticipated to be put before Parliament on Friday.
Minister Steven Blaney mentioned in his remarks that “within government, agencies don’t have the legal authority to share information related to the travel of high-risk passengers, for example between (the) foreign affairs (department) and police services.” He added that “it’s important to correct these gaps, and this is what we intend to do with the legislation.” The security officials have been on high alert since a gunman was killed after entering the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa in October. The gunman had also fatally shot a soldier at the nearby National War Memorial. The attack took place only two days after another Muslim convert rammed two soldiers in Quebec with his car, killing one.
Thereafter, the Canadian police announced to be keeping tabs on 93 individuals, so-called “high risk travelers,” who were suspected of taking part in militant activities abroad or planning to do so. Recently, Royal Canadian Mounted Police alleged that the Quebec attacker shot dead by police was on that list.
