Ray Protti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond Protti is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Bankers Association. He was appointed to sit on the Board of Governors for Ryerson University in 2003.

Protti was director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) from 1992 through 1994. In 1993 Protti testified to Parliament that a "visiting research scientist" had sought to acquire a deadly fungus while in Canada. That October, Protti sent a letter to Solicitor General Herb Gray announcing that a former KGB spy who had spied on Canada was under criminal investigation under the Security of Information Act, though CSIS finally opted not to pursue the case, fearing the SoIA might be challenged under the Charter.

Protti is reportedly an aficionado of opera.
