National Security Agencies: Air India Flight 182

Air India Flight Dept: The plan, unveiled by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and Citizenship Minister Jason Kenney on Tuesday in Ottawa, is a "road map" for counter-terrorism that will improve co-operation between national security agencies and police, according to Toews, according to CBC. Liberal public safety critic Mark Holland and Liberal foreign affairs critic Bob Rae said they were "deeply disappointed" the government had presented a series of "housekeeping items" that could have been done the day after former Supreme Court justice John Major filed his report on the Air India inquiry six months ago and opposition MPs have joined relatives of the 1985 Air India disaster in slamming the Conservative government's "action plan" designed to help prevent an incident similar to the worst mass murder in Canadian history.
