1. (SBU/Noforn) Post delivered reftel message to the GOC on
August 21 as Canadian government offices re-opened briefly
Wednesday morning for the first time since last week's power
failure. On August 22 the Department of Foreign Affairs
(DFAIT) confirmed the information had been circulated for
interagency consideration, but offices have shut again today
and the GOC will not be able to respond until the government
is fully operational next week.


2. (S) DFAIT noted that some of the designees had not, when
considered in the past, met the "reasonable grounds"
threshold necessary for designation in Canada, and will let
us know if further information on any of the names would be
helpful. The European response is likely to weigh into the
GOC's decision.
