The matter has been under study again since the terrorist attacks in the U.S. 　　The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) already has alimited mandate to operate overseas, and it cooperates with intelligence agencies in other countries in immigrant and refugee background checks. 　　But CSIS is essentially a defensive service aimed at counteringterrorism and espionage in Canada. It does not routinely run networks of agents abroad.
