Rights and Security on Prism TV: Leaks, Lies and Oversight

The third broadcast of Rights and Security on Prism TV will happen on Saturday Sepetmber 25 at 1:00pm EST.

Kerry Pither, Human Rights activist and author of Dark Days, will host a discussion about the role of leaks in national security investigations. Oversight over the activities of the RCMP and CSIS will also be discussed in depth. Our guests will be Jeff Sallot, Shirley Heafy and Michel Juneau-Katsuya.

Jeff Sallot teaches journalism at the Carleton’s University School of Journalism. Prior to joining Carleton University he had a long career with the Globe and Mail where he reported from every corner of Canada, and from more than 30 foreign countries. He wrote extensively about national security investigations. His coverage of RCMP security service scandals in Quebec resulted in the publication of his book on police corruption.

Shirley Heafey served as the Director of Appeal/Complaints at the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), a civilian agency that oversees the activities of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). She also served as the Chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC). Ms. Heafey was primarily responsible for conducting investigations on matters of national security.

Michel Juneau-Katsuya is the president of The Northgate Group, a security firm. He served as a senior intelligence officer and manager with CSIS. He is frequently interviewed by major media outlets on important subjects related to national security.
