Vincent Rigby’s appearance at a parliamentary committee comes after the release of David Johnston’s first report on foreign interference
last week for the fact he did not receive the 2021 classified memo about Chong.
Rigby says that during his tenure, he was concerned about intelligence being appropriately followed up on, but he says he can’t speak to what specifically happened with Blair’s office or the memo. Current adviser Jody Thomas said last week the memo was provided to her interim predecessor David Morrison in August 2021, but Morrison said in a statement that he doesn’t recall receiving or discussing it.
