Current National Security Advisor: Security Czar

Air India Dept: The government is negotiating ex gratia payments directly with grieving Air India families instead of establishing an independent body to do so, as recommended by Justice John Major in June. Ministers Tuesday declined to explain why, according to The Star. Toews said key agencies, the RCMP and CSIS, already report to a central cabinet minister him and oTTAWA The federal Conservative government rejected several key recommendations of the judge-led Air India inquiry, saying it has already taken several steps to increase air security, and wants to avoid creating more bureaucracy. The government will not boost the powers of the prime minister s current national security advisor or create a more robust national security czar because it does not want to create a new bureaucracy, said Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. As reported in the news.
