NDP’s Jagmeet Singh says report shows ‘a number of MPs’ have helped foreign states

OTTAWA — NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says a recent spy watchdog report shows a number of MPs have knowingly provided help to foreign governments.

Singh says he is “more alarmed today” after reading an unredacted version of a report on foreign interference by 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 MPs wittingly assisted the efforts of foreign states to meddle in Canadian politics.

The blunt report prompted a flurry of concern that members knowingly involved in meddling might still be active in politics.
