The national spy watchdog says there were ‘a limited number’ of cases in which CSIS ran afoul in its use of powers to reduce threats in the 2019 election

The national spy watchdog says Canada’s intelligence service sometimes strayed from the law when trying to disrupt threats from hostile foreign states in the 2019 election.

Such measures could involve CSIS altering websites, blocking communications or financial transactions, and interfering with tools or devices. The agency found most of the measures taken by CSIS satisfied requirements spelled out in legislation governing the spy service.
