OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc accused Conservative MPs of theatrics Thursday as they pressed the government to release the names of MPs allegedly engaged in foreign interference.
An intelligence watchdog said in a public report this week that some MPs wittingly assisted the efforts of foreign states to meddle in Canadian politics.
"One particular piece of the puzzle, an intelligence source or information, may not have a context, may be discredited or altered by subsequent information," he said."So the idea that there's a perfect list of names, that is entirely reliable that should be released to the public is simply irresponsible."
The bill tabled in the House early last month includes a variety of measures to deter, investigate and punish foreign meddling. In a letter Thursday to the committee, 14 civil society groups expressed"deep concerns" that MPs are wrapping up hearings on the bill after only about a week. It was signed by Amnesty International's Canadian section, the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council, the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group and Ligue des droits et libertés, among others.
