Maybe this is the new guy, and it's his first assignment. Maybe it's not CSIS, but some other interested party. Seriously though, they're gov't employees, the hiring process does not guarantee the highest quality in every case.

Fair point, until the bit where his PC is trying to send information to the CSIS.

Actually they're not agents, but officers. IIRC the agents are the informants who are not working for the agency.
