Canada's intelligence agencies must immediately inform MPs if there are any threats against them, regardless of whether the threats are considered credible, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday.
Trudeau told reporters that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service never shared information it received about China threatening family members of Conservative MP Michael Chong who live in Hong Kong.
The longtime MP and former cabinet minister said such targeting poses a serious threat and asked House Speaker Anthony Rota to rule on a point of privilege. MPs must be free to do their work unimpeded by outside influence, he said. "Even if CSIS doesn't feel that it's a sufficient level of concern for them to take more direct action, we still need to know about it at the upper government level. We are making that direction now."
