CSIS must inform government of threats targeting MPs, families: Trudeau
has been directed to alert officials to threats, regardless of whether they are considered credible.that Beijing’s intelligence service allegedly sought to target Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family in Hong Kong, citing a top-secret document and an anonymous national security source. The Globe also reported a Chinese diplomat who remains in Canada was allegedly involved.
He said CSIS was asked to brief Chong at the time after China publicly said it would sanction him for criticizing Beijing’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China’s Xinjiang province. CSIS never told anybody else about the information it had, Trudeau said. Trudeau said that when it comes to the safety and security of MPs or their families, intelligence agencies should always make that information known.“If anyone ever puts a threat against an MP or a family, we need to know about it and we’re going to make sure that CSIS elevates that, even if it’s not a credible threat or doesn’t hit the threshold that they would decide is necessary,” he said.
“They didn’t tell me about this particular individual … and they didn’t expel this particular individual,” he said.“The government needs to come clean about who knew what and when, and what they did about it.”Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has urged Trudeau to expel the diplomat in question and accused Trudeau of failing to take proper action, including delivering a warning to Chong.
