If we don’t want denunciations based on spies’ suspicions and politicians’ power games, then there’d better be some kind of standard set first
Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, speaks in response to three performance audit reports of the Auditor General of Canada on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on June 4.If an MP is known with certainty to be acting in secret with a foreign power against this country’s interests, then Canadians would expect that person to be called out.
The secret, unredacted version of the report names some names – and that has sparked calls for the identities of the disloyal parliamentarians to be made public, from commentators and from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc has warned that some of the names come from cases where the intelligence is “uncorroborated or unverified.”
“I don’t believe that a person’s career and life should be ruined on the basis of some piece of intelligence,” Mr. Fadden said. At this point, there’s no acceptable excuse for a party leader dodging that responsibility – especially if, as in Mr. Poilievre’s case, you are calling for names to be released from a secret report you haven’t sought to read.
