The commissioner leading Canada’s public inquiry into foreign interference stated that she will not release the names of those suspected of colluding with China.
Justice Marie-Josée Hogue made her statement on Monday, the first day the inquiry resumed since the summer break.
Canadians have been demanding accountability for months, asking for Hogue to name the traitors, after the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians’ (NSICOP) released a partially redacted report, which alleged that some MPs have helped foreign governments interfere in Canadian politics —- notably China and India.
Damning report
Speaking of the alleged traitorous MPs, the NSICOP report stated that “Some (of the activities) may be illegal, but are unlikely to lead to criminal charges, owing to Canada’s failure to address the long-standing issue of protecting classified information and methods in judicial processes.”
Another part read that many activities “could not be construed as regular diplomatic lobbying.”
It continued, “Rather, they clearly met the definition of foreign interference as described in Section 2 of the CSIS Act: contrary to Canada’s national interest, and deceptive, clandestine or threatening.”
Additionally, the report indicated that foreign agents are targeting Canada’s elections systems and election officials.
In her interim report on May 3, Justice Hogue noted in her interim report on May 3 that the Liberal Government is redacting and withholding cabinet documents, preventing her from fulfilling her job.
