Top Secret Canada is the first comprehensive study of national security agencies in Canada, discussing how they interact, overlap, and perform.

National security in the interest of preserving the well-being of a country is arguably the first and most important responsibility of any democratic government. Motivated by some of the pressing questions and concerns of citizens, Top Secret Canada is the first book to offer a comprehensive study of the Canadian intelligence community, its different parts, and how it functions as a whole. In taking up this important task, contributors aim to identify the key players, explain their mandates and functions, and assess their interactions.

Top Secret Canada features essays by the country’s foremost experts on law, foreign policy, intelligence, and national security, and will become the go-to resource for those seeking to understand Canada’s intelligence community and the challenges it faces now and in the future.

Stephanie Carvin is an assistant professor at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University. Thomas Juneau is an associate professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa.
