The Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act establishes the Security Intelligence Review Committee, and requires members to be named from current members of the Queen's Privy Council who are not members of the Senate or House of Commons. As such, appointees, if not already members of the Privy Council, are sworn in prior to being named to the Committee.
While traditionally appointment to the Order of Canada
has been utilised to recognize prominent Canadians, Brian Mulroney appointed 18 Canadians to the Privy Council on Canada Day
in 1992 in commemoration of Canada's 125th anniversary, and two more (the late W.O. Mitchell and Maurice Richard
) later that year. The appointments were somewhat controversial and have yet to be repeated.
