Supported by his conformist mass in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Harper intends to restore unique anti-terror authority for the police force.

Prime Minister Harper reportedly said: "We think those measures are necessary. We think they’ve been useful. They’re applied rarely, but there are times where they’re needed."

Deterrent custody, arrest without a warrant and bidding adjudicators to induce a witness to testify in a terror case were all included in the Anti-Terrorism Act a Liberal regime approved about a decade ago. However, these exceptional powers were terminated in 2007.

Liberal opposition and parliamentary deferrals impeded previous Tory efforts to reinstate those powers. According to Harper his administration will re-launch the procedures since there is still a terror threat in Canada.

Prime Minister Harper says, "The major threat is still Islamicism. There are other threats out there, but that is the one that I can tell you occupies the security apparatus most regularly."
