TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada will introduce new legislation aimed at giving more powers to its police and security agencies in the wake of two attacks by Muslim converts last year, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Sunday.

Harper, whose ruling Conservatives are trailing in polls heading into a federal election this year, said the new laws will be put before Parliament next Friday.
