The findings of a parliamentary committee that some Canadian MPs 'wittingly' aided foreign state actors are 'concerning,' but it is up to law enforcement to decide if they broke the law, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland is seen during a news conference, Tuesday, June 4, 2024 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldThe findings of a parliamentary committee that some Canadian MPs "wittingly" aided foreign state actors are "concerning," but it is up to law enforcement to decide if they broke the law, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday.
The report suggested all the actions of the MPs involved were "unethical," and some could be considered illegal. The Canadian Press has asked the RCMP if it is investigating any MPs as a result of the report and is awaiting a response. Freeland dismissed suggestions that this report further undermines confidence Canadians have in their government and electoral systems, particularly as the government is not saying if any of the MPs alleged to be involved are still sitting in Parliament.
