Editorial Reviews

"This book fills a notable vacuum in Canadian legal writing.... [I]t should ... be at the elbow of every Canadian security intelligence officer, law enforcement official, government policy-maker, elected politician, lawyer, or judge who must deal with national security issues in their professional life."

Ronald G. Atkey, P.C., Q.C. (first chair of the Security Intelligence Review Committee 1984-89 and Amicus Curiae to the Arar Commission 2004-2007)
