from national security experts – especially given the relatively new committee has had its share of challenges since being established by the Liberals’ 2017 national security reforms.</p><p>Canada was a laggard among close security partners in providing parliamentary – public – oversight into the country’s growing national security and intelligence apparatus. NSICOP changed that, giving security-cleared parliamentarians access to intelligence and decision-makers within the intelligence community.</p><p>It’s not the first time NSICOP has raised concerns about getting access to the information required to conduct its reviews. It’s been an ongoing issue since 2018, and publicly flagged again in the committee’s 2019 and 2020 reports.</p><p>“(It) suggests that this is an ongoing problem, or at least an ongoing risk that the committee is attentive to and is trying to flag publicly as something that could endanger their mandate,” said Christopher Parsons, a researcher with Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto.</p><div class="l-article__part" data-shortcode="readmore"> <p class="c-readmore"> <span class="c-readmore__label"><strong>Read more: </strong></span> <a class="c-readmore__link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220322024824/https://globalnews.ca/news/8456721/trudeau-cybersecurity-plan-cabinet/" data-track-region="content-read-more" title="Trudeau tasks cabinet with new cybersecurity plan amid growing attacks, spying"> Trudeau tasks cabinet with new cybersecurity plan amid growing attacks, spying </a> </p> </div><p>While the committee has produced some critical reporting on the operations of the intelligence community, Parsons suggested a larger risk is the committee being given incomplete or selective information about intelligence operations.</p><p>That could lead to the committee either missing key details about operations or painting the intelligence community in a better light than the reality.</p> <section id="content-dynamic-trending-stories" class="l-inlineStories l-inlineStories--tile u-hide-tablet-landscape" aria-label="Dynamic trending stories section"> <div class="l-inlineStories__heading"> <span class="l-inlineStories__title c-heading c-heading--strikethrough">Trending Stories</span> </div> <ul class="c-posts c-posts--inline"> <li class="c-posts__item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220322024824/https://globalnews.ca/news/8697617/kherson-protest-russia-ukraine-war-march-21/" class="c-posts__inner"> <div class="c-posts__media l-relatedStories__media"> <img class="c-posts__thumbnail" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220322024824/https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/KhersonCCTVscreenGrab.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&w=336&h=224&crop=1" loading="lazy" width="336" height="224" alt=""/> </div> <div class="c-posts__details"> <div class="c-posts__headline "> <span class="c-posts__headlineText" data-title>Russian soldiers opened fire at rally in Kherson to disperse crowd, Ukraine says</span> </div> <div class="c-posts__author"></div> </div> </a> </li> <li class="c-posts__item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220322024824/https://globalnews.ca/news/8692381/mask-mandates-dropped-workers-hostility-health-risks/" class="c-posts__inner"> <div class="c-posts__media l-relatedStories__media"> <img class="c-posts__thumbnail" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220322024824/https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/man-wearing-mask.jpeg?quality=85&strip=all&w=336&h=224&crop=1" loading="lazy" width="336" height="224" alt=""/> </div> <div class="c-posts__details"> <div class="c-posts__headline "> <span class="c-posts__headlineText" data-title>Dropped mask mandates: Public-facing workers face hostility, health risks</span> </div> <div class="c-posts__author"></div> </div> </a> </li> </ul> </section> <div class="c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad"> <div class="c-ad__label">Story continues below advertisement</div> <div id="gpt-ad-300250-11" class="c-ad__unit" data-ad-pos="11" loading="lazy"> </div> <script> if ( typeof( gn_monetize ) !== 'undefined' && typeof( gn_monetize.Ads ) !== 'undefined' && gn_monetize.Ads.initialRequestMade() ) { // Ads script has been loaded, create the ad. gn_monetize.Ads.create( {"sizes":"[300,250]","biddable":true,"id":"gpt-ad-300250-11","lazy":true,"targeting":{"pos":11,"slotid":"gpt-ad-300250-11"},"companion":false} ); } else { // if Ads script not yet loaded, queue up ad data for initialization. var gnAdSettings = gnAdSettings || {}; gnAdSettings.ads = gnAdSettings.ads || []; gnAdSettings.ads.push( {"sizes":"[300,250]","biddable":true,"id":"gpt-ad-300250-11","lazy":true,"targeting":{"pos":11,"slotid":"gpt-ad-300250-11"},"companion":false} ); } </script> </div> <p>“If they’re not getting access to relevant documents, the reports they’re putting out … may actually not have the critical information that would allow NSICOP to assess more critically the operations” of federal intelligence agencies, Parsons said.</p><p>“So when and if they’re not getting access to documents there’s a concern that the result is it sort of jukes the reports that are coming out, such that while they are helpful, they may not tell the full story.
