Ottawa, Ontario (June 18, 2025) - The Director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Dan Rogers, issued the following statement regarding the CSIS Public Report 2024 released today:

“I am pleased to release the CSIS Public Report 2024. This comprehensive report marks CSIS’ 40th anniversary and provides an overview of the changing national security landscape in Canada. It also provides detailed insight into how CSIS has evolved, and how we continue to respond to the changing threat environment today.

In 2024, security threats facing Canada and its allies continued to increase in complexity. As international conflicts persist, there are increasing threats from foreign nations seeking to undermine Canada’s security, economic prosperity and democracy through acts of foreign interference, coercion, and espionage. Indeed, CSIS has seen a concerning trend of states leveraging organized crime networks to conduct threat activity, including transnational repression of legitimate speech in Canada, among other malign activities.

In 2024, two high-profile terrorism-related arrests prevented what were shaping up to be deadly attacks. Canada’s National Terrorism Threat Level remains at medium, largely because of mitigation efforts in place through intelligence and law enforcement bodies, but make no mistake, the trajectory of terrorism trends is concerning.

Throughout 2024, CSIS supported the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions (PIFI) through document production and expert testimony. We welcome the conclusions of the Commission’s recently released report, and work is already underway to address conclusions, including those related to intelligence dissemination.
