the size of the Commissioner's office relative to CSE is similar to the other principal intelligence review body in Canada, SIRC, and has a much higher ratio of reviewers to staff in the reviewed organization than some comparable bodies in other countries. For example, the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security (IGIS) in Australia has a staff of similar size to the CSE Commissioner's office but is responsible for reviewing six intelligence agencies, including the Australian Signals Directorate, the CSE equivalent in that country; and in the United Kingdom, the Interception of Communications Commissioner, who is a former high court judge supported by a staff of eight, reviews ten agencies that use powers of interception.
