Series consists largely of correspondence, memos, reports and some transcripts of hearings and briefs surrounding C.S.I.S.

This series begins with some retrospective material on security issues going back to 1975, then moves into the early 1980s and the creation of C.S.I.S. There are some files on the Transitional Study Group, which began looking at the bread-and-butter issue of how to establish this new agency. There are several memoranda to Cabinet on the matter, internal memos between Solicitor-General and other agencies, the McLeod Report and Senate Committee hearings, transcripts of certain appearances before this committee ( Kaplan, Starnes, McGuigan, and McMurty), as well as certain briefs on the matter that Kaplan chose to work with. There is a run of files on Bill C-157 (1983), the first attempt at legislating the new agency. These files contain commentary, memos, briefs, notes, observations, correspondence and some proferred amendments about / on issues of concern and debate which came up during attempts at passage of the bill. Finally, there are files on Bill C-9, as it went through various committees of the House, and enshrined the new agency in law. These files, like the files on Bill C-157, hold material of a similar nature, and help clarify how the bill was finally given form and C.S.I.S. came into being.
