Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed frustration to a federal inquiry into foreign interference that intelligence leaked to the media had been sensationalized.
OTTAWA -
“PM Trudeau also considered that the leaks illustrate the dangers of drawing conclusions based on a single piece of intelligence, without sufficient context, and without any analysis of its reliability.” Under a protocol ushered in by the Liberals, there would be a public announcement if a panel of bureaucrats determined that an incident - or an accumulation of incidents - threatened Canada's ability to have a free and fair election.
Karina Gould, who held the portfolio from early 2017 to November 2019, said in a classified interview last month that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service indicated the activities were similar to what had been seen in the past. Gould said the process was designed to allow for a public announcement due to meddling at a national level or “something that's happening in one, singular riding.”
