Foreign Affairs lets millions of security dollars lapse
Department leaves millions on the table even as risks abroad increase

Millions of dollars earmarked to boost security at Canada’s increasingly threatened diplomatic missions were left unspent over the last three years as the Conservative government chopped programs and staff to eliminate the country's deficit.

The shortfall in capital spending intended to tighten security at embassies, high commissions and consulates prompted an urgent meeting between Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and his staff within days of the Oct. 22 shooting attack on Parliament Hill.

With Ottawa still shaken by the brazen attack of a lone gunman, Baird raised the issue of unspent security money, asking his staff to expedite a risk-assessment program because of the growing threats posed to diplomats abroad by ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) and other terror groups.

Those are the findings of a CBC News investigation, which shows that Foreign Affairs failed to spend almost half of the $129 million budgeted for “strengthening security at missions abroad” in 2013-14, leaving $69 million on the table.
