The State Department report on global terrorism for 2002 suggests that while Canada has been helpful in the fight against terrorism, it doesnt spend enough on policing and places too much emphasis on civil liberties.It says "some U.S. law enforcement officers have expressed concern" about Canadian privacy laws.The U.S. officers feel those laws, as well as funding levels for law enforcement, "inhibit a fuller and more timely exchange of information and response to requests for assistance," the report says."Also, Canadian laws and regulations intended to protect Canadian citizens and landed immigrants from government intrusion sometimes limit the depth of investigations."
