On the podcast today, Tim McSorley joins Lorraine Chisholm to talk about one of the consequences of the federal government's policies to counter terrorism financing.

The International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group has released a report that highlights the unfairness behind financial institutions severely penalizing NGO and individuals they may suspect, without substantial evidence, of supporting terrorist organizations.

For example, unverified foreign misinformation led to a donation processor abruptly deplatforming a charity, followed by a bank's decision to close its account.

The ICLMG is a national coalition of Canadian civil society organizations.

Tim McSorley is National Coordinator of the ICLMG, and he joins me now.

Hello, Tim.

Hi, Lorraine.

The connection is the continuing need for review capacity capable of identifying issues inside classified operations.

Tim McSorley, National Coordinator of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, is calling for accountability and explanation of how future lapses will be prevented.

However, we should remember here that the findings reported publicly do not establish that CSIS trampled on anyone's civil liberties.

They identify potential compliance issues that need to be examined and addressed.
