Parliamentarians who allegedly colluded with foreign states are ‘traitors’: Singh
Global News
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says parliamentarians who “wittingly” collaborated with foreign governments are “traitors to the country.”
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says parliamentarians who allegedly “wittingly” collaborated with foreign governments are “traitors to the country.”
Singh spoke Thursday after reviewing the unredacted version of an explosive report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), which was released last week.
“There are a number of MPs who have knowingly provided help to foreign governments, some to the detriment of Canada and Canadians,” Singh told reporters.
“What they’re doing is unethical. It is in some cases against the law,” said the NDP leader. “They are indeed traitors to the country.”
“The conclusions that are publicly available suggest that there are a number of MPs that were engaged in activities that were unethical, in some cases illegal or criminal. After having read the unredacted version. I agree with that finding.”
His comments stand in contrast to Green Party Leader Elizabeth May’s remarks after reading the full NSICOP report. Both leaders have security clearances to review the material.
May was the first opposition leader to read the unredacted document and said she was “vastly relieved” at what she says she found there, calling the “media firestorm” surrounding the NSICOP report “overblown.”
But Singh said he is not “relieved” after reading the full text.
