Johnston’s initial report in May concluded that a public inquiry would not be a constructive way forward — angering opposition parties
The director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, David Vigneault, told a House committee in March that the 2019 and 2021 elections were free and fair. The leaders of all political parties have also stated that they do not question the results of those elections.
Days after the report was made public, a majority of MPs passed a non-binding NDP motion calling on Johnston to step down due to perceived bias, with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre repeatedly accusing him of being too close to Trudeau to review his government’s actions. “I have concluded that, given the highly partisan atmosphere around my appointment and work, my leadership has had the opposite effect,” he wrote at the time.
The press release from the Privy Council Office states that opposition party leaders with security clearance will also be provided a copy.Article content As he stepped aside, Johnston encouraged Trudeau to appoint a “respected person with national security experience” to finish the work he started, and suggested he consult with opposition parties on who that should be.Article content
Since that time, the agency said the government provided it with a limited number of documents it originally withheld due to cabinet confidentiality.
