What it does#

Who's affected#

• The most directly affected party is the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada and its President.
• Departments and officials who work with federal lists or classifications tied to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act may also notice the change.
• It is unclear from the text whether this change affects specific powers, responsibilities, or day-to-day operations beyond the formal listing.

Why it matters#

• This is a technical, administrative change that formally puts the Agency’s President on a government list connected to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act.
• For practical purposes, being on that list can matter for how a position is treated in matters that intersect with national security, information sharing, or interdepartmental coordination — though the order itself only records the listing and does not describe new authorities.
