Hon. Roméo Antonius Dallaire:

Honourable senators, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has now standardized the forms needed to obtain a visa in this country. It is interesting that in the new form, they ask any applicant who has served in the military, police or civil defence services to disclose when they served, what unit they served in, where that unit was located and what their responsibilities were. When I read that, it brought me back to some of the intelligence data gathering that we used during the Cold War.

Particularly with regard to the complaint by the Russians, has Canada reopened a new venue of seeking intelligence from more recent allies through the visa application form?
