Ottawa seeks a civilian security service CSIS to replace RCMP Security Services. Kaplan says a party seeking unilateral independence would threaten constitutional order and be surveilled, while PQ's independence plan remains within democratic, constitutional bounds. The bill, backed by Ted Finn as CSIS director general, would allow warrants for wiretaps and covert data gathering.
