Senior federal adviser Carney urged the Canadian government to establish a single, government‑wide registry for security‑clearance information. The proposal, announced in Ottawa on Wednesday, aims to streamline processes and reduce duplicated effort across departments.
Canada’s current system for handling security clearances is split among multiple federal agencies, which has resulted in repeated work and slower processing times. A unified registry would allow departments to more easily locate existing personnel‑security data, improving overall efficiency.
