What is Canadian Security Intelligence Service?
The '''Canadian Security Intelligence Service''' (CSIS) ([[French language|French]]: Service Canadien du renseignement de sécurité) (SCRS) is the main intelligence agency of the [[Canada|Canadian]] government. It is responsible for collecting, analyzing and reporting intelligence on threats to Canada's national security, and conducting operations, covert and overt, within Canada and abroad. Its headquarters are located at 1941 Ogilvie Road, in Ottawa, Ontario, in a purpose-built facility completed in 1995. CSIS (pronounced /ˈsiːsɪs/) is responsible to [[Parliament]] through the Minister of Public Safety, but is also overseen by the Federal Court system, the Inspector General of Canada, and the Security Intelligence Review Committee. CSIS is a spy agency, similar to the [[CIA]] in the United States. {{Canada-stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:1984 establishments in Canada]] [[Category:Government agencies of Canada]] [[Category:Intelligence agencies]]
