Johnston’s wrong, ex-CSIS officers say, inquiry is possible despite classified information

OTTAWA — Two former executives in Canada’s intelligence services told MPs that despite Special Rapporteur David Johnston’s concerns, a public inquiry can be held into foreign interference while still keeping classified information secret.

Dan Stanton, a former CSIS officer and manager, said holding a public inquiry is entirely possible, citing examples such as the inquiries into the Maher Arar affair and the Air India bombing, which took place despite the sensitive information involved.
