The Liberal government has blown past its own deadline to review a major national security law that gave Canada’s security and intelligence agencies sweeping new powers by three years. Bill C-59 reshaped Canada’s national security landscape in June 2019, establishing the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) Act, making significant changes to how the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) operates, and putting in place civilian review and oversight of the intelligence community for the first time.Given the significance of the changes, the Liberals wrote into the legislation that Parliament must review the new national security regime within four years, in 2023.

Josh Kushner and former Disney chief Bob Iger have agreed to buy a controlling interest in the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal valuing the franchise at about $12.5 billion, setting a record for a control sale of a professional sports team.The price is striking because Mark Walter’s group acquired control of the Lakers at a $10 billion valuation only about 14 months earlier.
