Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has had read a report containing allegations parliamentarians are helping foreign governments and says there is no 'list' of MPs.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Quebec City on Monday where he commented on the NSICOP report, saying Canada 'must take foreign interference with all the seriousness it requires.' A report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians alleged that sitting federal politicians are 'witting' participants in foreign interference schemes.“I can say I have no worries about anyone in the House of Commons,” May told reporters Tuesday.
The redacted report was made public last Monday and did not include the identities of any parliamentarians or indicate whether they might be members of the House of Commons or the Senate. Since its release, pressure has mounted on the government to make their names public.The Conservatives have called for the release of their identities, but the Liberals say they can’t because they’re bound by Canada’s official secrets law.
“This individual was entirely aware of the circumstances and was witting. That person, a former MP whose name is not included in the report, should be fully investigated, and prosecuted,” May said.
