Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet has received the necessary security clearance to review classified national security files, his party has told Radio-Canada.
Top-secret clearance allows Blanchet to read the unredacted version of that report and sit in on future briefings. His refusal has triggered a fiery debate in Canadian politics after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified under oath last week that he's seen intelligence about Conservative parliamentarians and party members who are engaged in or vulnerable to foreign interference.
The CSIS Act allows the government to offer "information to any Canadian about specific risks of foreign interference without forcing them into sworn secrecy or controlling what they say," Poilievre wrote.
