About 50,000 Canadian passports that were lost or stolen in the last
four years have fallen into the hands of criminals or terrorists, a
Montreal newspaper reported on Friday.
Le Journal de Montréal said it found the information in documents RCMP
Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli filed with Public Safety Minister
Stockwell Day, dated Feb. 6. It acquired the documents through the
Access to Information Act.
The newspaper said the documents are a compilation of several reports,
portions of which were not released under the Act.
In documents that dealt with reducing the terrorist threat,
investigators were looking into whether suppliers of fake passports
might be terrorists or might have ties to terrorist groups. Day
wouldn't comment on the number of missing passports, the newspaper
said.
