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.
