National security
Public Safety Canada is responsible for policy development and advice to the Minister on matters of national security. We are involved in the following initiatives, programs and files:
- Policy advice and support
Public Safety Canada provides independent advice and support to the Minister on matters of national security.
- Cross-Cultural Roundtable on Security
A key element of the National Security Policy, the Roundtable helps inform policy-makers about the impact of national security matters on our diverse society.
- Listed entities
Canada's Anti-Terrorism Act enables the government to create a list of "entities" under the Criminal Code. This is a very public way to identify a group or individual as being associated with terrorism.
- Security certificates
A mechanism for removing non-Canadians who pose a threat to Canada’s national security.
