SAVELLETRI DI FASANO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will not say whether Liberal MPs are among those accused in a recent spy watchdog report of helping foreign states.
The refusal comes after NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May have both offered new, though somewhat conflicting insight into the findings of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.
The intelligence watchdog, composed of MPs and senators, said in a public report last week that some parliamentarians are"semi-witting or witting" participants in the efforts of foreign states to meddle in Canadian politics. May says there is no suggestion that sitting MPs have put the interest of foreign states over Canada, but Singh says a number of members have provided help to foreign governments
Trudeau was asked about whether any members of his party are named in the report, but would only say that concerns raised in the report have been referred to a national inquiry into foreign interference.
