Man arrested on national security certificate on allegations of spying: Knowledge Driven Revolution

Related - Russian Spy Suspect Held in Canada Airport

An alleged spy has been arrested in Montreal on a rarely used national security certificate.

The man was taken into custody by the Canada Border Services Agency on Tuesday, said Melisa Leclerc, a spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day. Leclerc said Wednesday more information will become available as the legal process unfolds in Federal Court. "There's not much I can say, because it's before the court." Under federal immigration law, the government may use a certificate to deport a non-citizen suspected of being a risk to Canadian security.

The certificate must be signed by the ministers of immigration and public safety.

A federal judge examines the case, either upholding the certificate as reasonable or quashing it and setting the suspect free.

The security certificate system has become a flashpoint in Canada's fight against terrorism, drawing criticism from human rights activists, lawyers and scholars.

The certificates have now been used in 28 cases, almost all involving terrorism or espionage, since 1991.

It is well known that foreign countries send agents to Canada in pursuit of economic and military secrets.

Two Russian diplomats expelled from Canada in 2002 were military attaches at the Russian Embassy in Ottawa, suspected by many of being involved in espionage.

In 1996, two Russian spies were deported from Canada in disgrace.

Dmitriy Olshevsky and Yelena Olshevskaya, who went by the bogus names Ian and Laurie Lambert, made headlines in 1996 when they were arrested and swiftly removed from Canada.

Friends and co-workers were stunned to learn the pair were actually "sleeper" agents for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, or SVR, the successor to the ruthless KGB.
