The House of Commons on Monday condemned an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate former Liberal justice minister Irwin Cotler.

The Globe and Mail first reported that the RCMP warned Cotler on Oct. 26 that there was an imminent threat of assassination within 48 hours, and then later said the threat against him had been significantly lowered.
It said Cotler, a vocal critic of the Iranian regime, has been under RCMP protection since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Cotler’s office confirmed the Globe and Mail reporting to the Canadian Press.
Defence Minister Bill Blair told reporters on Monday that Canada’s national security and law enforcement agencies “do an appropriate and necessary job of protecting all Canadians, in particular parliamentarians and former parliamentarians.”

Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne pledged to give Cotler “all the protection that the government of Canada can offer.”
The RCMP declined to comment on the case Monday. It said it bases protective measures on threat and risk assessments but does not confirm whether individuals are under protection or provide details about those measures.
