The RCMP says it is investigating leaks of classified information related to allegations of foreign election interference as the Liberals’ political rivals in Parliament continue to press for an independent public inquiry.
The Mounties’ acknowledgment on Monday that the force is probing the source of media leaks comes days after Canadian Security and Intelligence Service director David Vigneault told a parliamentary committee “there is an investigation underway by CSIS and our partners” into the sources of leaked information.
On Monday, the leaders of the New Democratic and Conservative parties insisted a full public inquiry should be held into the substance of the allegations. A panel of senior civil servants, and an independent review of their work written by former civil servant Morris Rosenberg, concluded that while there were foreign attempts at election interference, none affected the conduct or outcome of a “free and fair” election.
“If there is a non-confidence vote, we’ll make a determination if that happens,” he said. “That’s not in front of us right now.” The Liberals continue to point to parliamentary committees as well as to an oversight agency of CSIS and CSE, known as the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, as mechanisms to review the allegations.
