Parliamentary Committee Notes: 2024-2025 Supplementary Estimates (B) Canadian Security Intelligence Service
Proposed Response
- The Supplementary Estimates (B) items represent an increase of $53.5M to CSIS’ spending authorities from $710.5M to $764M.
- CSIS has received Treasury Board authority to increase its Voted Appropriations by $50.7M and increase its Statutory Appropriations by $2.76M.
- While detailed breakdowns of CSIS expenditures are classified, I can say that this funding will equip CSIS with tools to combat emerging global threats and keep pace with technological developments through investments in intelligence capabilities and infrastructure.
- The evolving global threat environment has shifted CSIS’ priorities and demands, as the demand for timely intelligence is higher than ever before. This crucial funding will ensure CSIS can continue to keep Canadians safe from threats, such as violent extremism and foreign interference, among others.
- CSIS delivers a unique mandate and capabilities that cannot be replicated. Canadians depend on CSIS to maintain Canada’s strategic advantage in an increasingly dangerous world, and they expect that CSIS be resourced accordingly.
