TRAITORS: Trudeau Government Refusing To Release MP’s Names, Saying RCMP-CSIS Are On The Case!

A Parliamentary committee has shockingly found intelligence that some Canadian MPs are 'willingly' participating in foreign interference by India and China but the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is refusing to name names of the MPs who are being traitors to Canada, saying Canadian security agencies RCMP and CSIS are on the case. The report released Monday says some Canadian members of Parliament began "wittingly assisting" foreign state actors -- including sending confidential information to Indian officials. In terms of India, there is plenty of proof including reported against one Conservative MP who was helped by Indian Consulate officials in his nomination and he subsequently won the election and became an MP. And there may be other Conservative and some Liberal MPs who may fit the bill of willingly helping India with intelligence and receiving financial and other kinds of support to win nominations and elections. Responding Tuesday to a question about intelligence watchdog reports that some MPs are helping foreign actors like China and India meddle in Canadian politics, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called the allegations 'very serious,' suggesting those found guilty should be kicked out of Parliament.

OTTAWA – A Parliamentary committee has shockingly found intelligence that some Canadian MPs are 'willingly' participating in foreign interference by India and China but the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is refusing to name names of the MPs who are being traitors to Canada, saying Canadian security agencies RCMP and CSIS are on the case.

The report released Monday says some Canadian members of Parliament began "wittingly assisting" foreign state actors -- including sending confidential information to Indian officials.

In terms of India, there is plenty of proof including reported against one Conservative MP who was helped by Indian Consulate officials in his nomination and he subsequently won the election and became an MP. And there may be other Conservative and some Liberal MPs who may fit the bill of willingly helping India with intelligence and receiving financial and other kinds of support to win nominations and elections.

Responding Tuesday to a question about intelligence watchdog reports that some MPs are helping foreign actors like China and India meddle in Canadian politics, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called the allegations 'very serious,' suggesting those found guilty should be kicked out of Parliament.

The report from a committee of MPs and senators with top security clearance says Canadian spy agencies produced a body of intelligence showing foreign actors cultivated relationships with both MPs and senators, reported CTV News.

Liberal MP David McGuinty, who chairs the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, said foreign interference is a pervasive national security threat.

It's undermining Canadians' rights and the credibility of democratic processes, he said in an interview Monday.

"We found foreign interference at every order of government, in every political party, in the public sector, the media, the NGO sector, the private sector," he said. "It's there, and it's not stopping."

The committee was asked to assess foreign interference in federal electoral processes, including meddling attempts in the last two elections.

It found Canada's overall response to meddling attempts has been inadequate, and "troubling intelligence" suggests some parliamentarians participated in efforts by other countries to interfere in Canadian politics.

The report cites what it says is a particularly concerning case of an unnamed MP who maintained a relationship with a foreign intelligence officer.

It says the "then-member of Parliament" sought to arrange a meeting with a senior intelligence official in another country and "proactively" gave the intelligence officer information that was provided in confidence.

Overall, the committee concluded the government still hasn't implemented an effective response to the problem of foreign interference, even though it has done the necessary policy work and gathered the intelligence it needs.

It found that foreign countries "conduct sophisticated and pervasive foreign interference specifically targeting Canada's democratic processes and institutions, occurring before, during and after elections and in all orders of government."

"These activities continue to pose a significant threat to national security, and to the overall integrity of Canada's democracy."

The report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), a key Canadian intelligence oversight body, says there were "two specific instances where [People's Republic of China] officials allegedly interfered in the leadership races of the Conservative Party of Canada," reported CBC News.

The report also reported an allegation that India interfered in a single Conservative Party leadership race.

The report says details of the allegations were removed from the report before its publication to prevent the spread of "injurious or privileged information."

"CSIS did not advise the Conservative Party of Canada of any intelligence suggesting there was foreign interference in the leadership contest," said Sarah Fischer, director of communications for the Conservative Party. "This is the first time we have heard about it."

Fischer said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's campaign received no notice of interference in his race and "has no awareness of what is referenced."

To buy a Conservative Party membership, people had to pay by personal credit card, personal cheque or personal bank draft, Fischer told CBC News in an email. She said cash and pre-paid credit cards could not be used, reported CBC News.

Democratic Institutions Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a statement that the government disagrees with aspects of the report, including how pieces of intelligence were interpreted, reported Canadian Press.

Asked about the allegation that an MP sought a meeting with a foreign intelligence officer, LeBlanc told reporters that "certain information doesn't have the caveats that some of the intelligence documents that we would see have."

The report cited "particularly concerning examples of behaviour by a few parliamentarians," some of which it said may be illegal.

"Regardless, all the behaviours are deeply unethical and, the committee would submit, contrary to the oaths and affirmations parliamentarians take to conduct themselves in the best interest of Canada."

It cited examples of parliamentarians accepting benefits from other countries "knowingly or through willful blindness," and responding to direction from foreign officials to "improperly influence parliamentary colleagues or parliamentary business to the advantage of a foreign state."

The report takes aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not approving, as recommended, a better briefing strategy that would include all parliamentarians.

It said that initiative would have been simple to implement, and the committee "considers the prime minister's lack of action on this recommendation to be a serious omission."

McGuinty said the government was too slow to act, to engage with stakeholders and to put legislation forward.

But he said the government's proposed foreign interference legislation, Bill C-70, will address a number of the issues the committee has raised, including creating a foreign agent registry.

"We are hopeful these measures will get through quickly," he said, reported Canadian Press.
