US embassy cable - 05OTTAWA2148

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: TERRORIST FINANCE - OTTAWA: GOC ON HIG 
 
REF: A. STATE 131410 
     B. OTTAWA 1847 
 
Classified By: Michael Gallagher, Economics Minister Counselor, Ottawa. 
  Reason:  1.4(e). 
 
1. (S) Foreign Affairs Canada has received the information 
that was provided to the Canadian Embassy regarding the US 
position on designation of HIG (ref A).  Our FAC counterpart 
tells us that they do not, at this point, have individual 
names that could be designated but welcome collaboration in 
identifying them.  They reiterated that they will not proceed 
with notification to the UN 1267 Committee without 
coordinating with their partners (US and UK). 
 
2.  (S)  Ref B reported that the GOC's domestic designation 
of HIG would be announced in August.  However, the August 
Treasury Board meeting has been cancelled, with the next 
meeting expected towards the end of September.  If the GOC 
(the RCMP and Department of National Defense) decide that 
quicker designation is necessary in light of Canada's 
upcoming troop deployment in Afghanistan, the designation 
could be accomplished more quickly via a "walk around" 
whereby the necessary Ministerial approvals are collected 
individually in advance of the next Treasury Board meeting. 
We will advise addressees if the GOC tells us the plan to 
pursue the latter option.
