OTTAWA—Canada’s military intelligence branch laid out a path to become a “main player” in the global intelligence community, according to an ambitious planning document obtained by the Star.

The discussion document set out a five-year plan to “maximize” the Canadian Armed Forces’ intelligence-gathering, with an eye to making military intelligence more “relevant” to the current national security conversation.

It placed the Canadian Joint Operations Command (CJOC) at the centre of a nexus that includes Canada’s law enforcement and spy agencies — the RCMP, CSIS, and CSE — as well as international security partners, special operations units, and the Chief of Defence Intelligence.

The documents stated the Forces could harness “all of (the) strengths and capabilities” of the overall intelligence community, and should gain an understanding the complexities of Canada’s domestic and foreign spy agencies.

In a statement, the CJOC stressed that the plan, which sketched out a strategy for 2013 to 2019, has not been approved by its command, and was intended to be “forward-looking.” CJOC said the document does not reflect current intelligence planning or operations, but did not give any detail about how it differs from current strategy.

The document was obtained as Parliament debates the level of oversight needed for Canada’s civilian spy agency — CSIS — who will see their mandate drastically increased under proposed reforms from the Conservative government.

There have been longstanding concerns about oversight for the military’s own intelligence operations. There is no direct civilian oversight — the chief of defence staff and military high-ups are responsible for monitoring intelligence activities. The intelligence branch can also be subject to review by the auditor general and the privacy commissioner.

Canada is a growing great power, it is looking to assert itself more and more. There has been a certain shift in military and foreign policy in Canada, one that emphasizes the need to decrease reliance on foreign military power such as the US; this includes increased intel cooperation with allies in the EU and middle east, along with finding lead roles in international affairs.

Though I worry that any gain that the Canada's intel agencies make will be at the cost of civilian oversight. I would rather not have Canada become the US, where the CIA has little to no civilian oversight, and is known to lie to the civilian government in order to achieve it's goals.

All these murcia dick licking policies will take a back seat later this year. The conservatives are about to get the kick in the *** and retrieve back to their holes where they've traditionally called home. They had a small run, now it's time to go back to normal programming. General elections are later this year and the Liberals will steam roll these clowns.

The way you write it's obvious that you're from an East Asian country. You also gave it away by not knowing what "murican" means. Fail. Kill yourself.

Achmed? Seriously? You try way too hard. Sad, very sad.

Canada has been actively seeking military autonomy for quite some decades now and her industries certainly don't fail to perpetuate that push. Most of the modern military projects, such as the Global Combat Ship and next-generation armored vehicles and aircraft, are being spearheaded relatively-free of US influence. I tend to believe that Canada's political (and sometimes cultural) parallelism with the United States is more out of willingness and the proximity in which the two countries flourish.

The expansion of CSIS' power has been long overdue. The attacks in Ottawa and Quebec by Islamist terrorists are testimonials for the need of greater and noticeable government involvement in these matters. While I certainly wish the extent to which CSIS expands her control will not reflect that of the Patriot Act, it is a vital step towards defending the freedom which Canadians enjoy and relaying the message that the government does care about its people.

All these murcia dick licking policies will take a back seat later this year.

General elections are later this year and the Liberals will steam roll these clowns.

These so-called "Murica dick licking policies" are exactly what responsible governments of other countries are enacting right now, in light of the dramatic rise in terrorist-related violence. The United States does not hold a monopoly over anti-terrorism laws and any citizen appreciating a peaceful existence would be privy to those changes brought forth by the government in Ottawa.
