NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said in Ottawa on Thursday that he is “more disturbed” after reading an unredacted version of a National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report on foreign interference, and said that it shows a number of Canadian MPs have “knowingly provided help to foreign governments.”
“There are also politicians at all levels of government who have benefited from foreign interference. Some of this behaviour absolutely appears to be criminal and should be prosecuted,” Singh said. “This government has received multiple repeated warnings and recommendations and has not acted.”
“I am more disturbed today than I [was] yesterday. I'm more disturbed by what I've learned, and it really does highlight to me the failure of leadership of both Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre,” he later added.
The Green Party's Elizabeth May, who has also seen the full version, said this week it does not contain a "list of MPs who have shown disloyalty to Canada." May said she believes the small number of MPs named in the report did not knowingly set out to betray Canada.
