Canada’s spy agency gave Doug Ford’s chief of staff a briefing on MPP Vincent Ke over allegations of foreign election interference, but the premier says CSIS was “very secretive” and provided little detail.
“With CSIS, everything’s a big secret,” Ford said at union training facility in Vaughan. “They don’t give you a proper briefing, in my opinion. They will say a few comments and, ‘We can’t tell you,’” the premier added, expressing frustration. Ke left the PC caucus to sit as an Independent, saying he does not want to be a “distraction” to the government while he clears his name.
New Democrat Leader Marit Stiles said an explanation is needed on the weeks-long time lag between the CSIS briefing and Ke’s departure from the PC caucus.
