Operating Policies

Updated Tuesday, March 2, 2026 [CONTACT].

POLICY

This policy outlines the general position of the Foundation in respect to communicating with Justice System Officials (defined below) and imposes specific instructions on Agents.

Agents shall not communicate with police, investigators, prosecutors, courts, or other “Justice System Officials,” except where and only to the extent they are expressly authorized by an Executive.   Agents are likewise prohibited from speaking to the public or news media.  Should an Agent be formally questioned, detained, or arrested, they shall invoke their Charter right to counsel and remain silent.

The Foundation does not have legal privilege except by extension — e.g. when we are working through a lawyer or other entity with legal privilege.  In Canada, this may include the following: solicitor-client; spousal; confidential informant; journalist-source; doctor-patient; psychotherapist-patient; clergy-confessor, or priest-penitent; social worker-client; counsellor-client; indigenous elder-cultural advisor; parliamentary; judicial deliberative; cabinet confidence; public interest immunity; police privilege; settlement/mediation confidentiality; whistle-blower protections; privacy law protections; health information confidentiality; employment confidentiality.

The Foundation does not represent anyone — it is not an agent or legal representative, and it does not speak for anyone except in some very limited cases where an Executive authorizes a messenger or broker.  The only fiduciary obligations Agents have is to the Foundation.  The Foundation may advocate or perform to the benefit of a particular person or party; however, the Foundation does so as a concerned party, an advocate, an expert, and not as a legal representative.  Agents must have a clear understanding of the role(s) the Foundation plays at all times.

Agents have an ongoing and affirmative obligation to protect the Foundation, specifically including its secrecy, operations, assets, data, systems, and relationships.  This obligation continues after termination or disassociation — it it a lifetime commitment.  While the Foundation itself is not secret, it maintains strict and absolute confidentiality over highly sensitive information that is essential to its effectiveness, and may attach legal privilege.

It must be noted that some Justice System Officials are highly trained and very effective in techniques to elicit information, including deceit, pressure, intimidation, bullying, threatening, and the power of suggestion.  Agents are expected to remain composed, and to disengage.  Where this is not possible, assert their right to counsel and remain silent.  The interests of Justice System Officials, by their very mandate, do not necessarily align with the Foundation.  Interactions with Justice System Officials must be reported to an Executive without delay.

Special Intelligence Policy (SIP)

POLICY

The Foundation defines intelligence as “information, indicators, and insight gathered from a wide array of sources, directly or indirectly.” Intelligence should never be confused with ‘information’, which is data and confirmed fact. Intelligence is used to support a broader understanding of cases, participants, and institutional involvement — identifying patterns, understanding prior actions, and anticipating potential developments.  The Foundation maintains a cautious and analytical approach, recognizing that intelligence may vary in reliability and must not be interpreted as fact without proper validation.

The Foundation may resource the development and application of technologies, systems, processes, and practices to support the collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence.   To this, the Foundation may contract with others.  Intelligence gathered must be relevant to the business, mandate, and activities of the Foundation, and shall be treated as variable in reliability; it shall not be considered verified fact without independent verification.

Proper measures shall be taken to protect the identities of both sources and agents, ensuring at all times that sensitive information is handled with the highest level of secrecy and security.  The Foundation shall take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access to, and exposure of, intelligence.  The Foundation may utilize non-disclosure agreements, falsified monikers, and other protective measures to safeguard intelligence, sources, and agents of the Foundation.

Intelligence may be shared only in limited, appropriate circumstances where there is a clear and justified purpose that is aligned with the interests of the Foundation.  The Foundation may, on mutual consent, facilitate connections between requesting parties and sources or subject-matter contributors.

Agents of the Foundation involved with intelligence must be trusted, verified, and suitable.  The credibility and reputation of the Foundation relies on its ability to properly execute its intelligence operations under this SIP — to safeguard intelligence, shield its sources, and protect its agents.
