National Security Report Alleges Foreign Interference Involving Parliamentarians


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has remained tight-lipped about whether current members of the Liberal caucus are implicated in a classified version of a startling national security report. The report, produced by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), alleges that some Parliamentarians are either “semi-witting or witting” participants in foreign interference efforts.

The situation remains contentious, with calls for transparency and further investigation.
