This is the best summary I could come up with:
Concerns around the issue have intensified amid the bombshell allegations contained in the unclassified version of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report released last week.
Initially, Mr. Poilievre and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet both rejected offers for the access to classified reports because they said it would muzzle their public efforts to hold the government to account.
Rather than having their leader briefed, the Conservatives have said the foreign interference inquiry should review the allegations in the NSICOP report and then publicly release “findings of fact” on each case involving a current or past Parliamentarian.
That is a stretch, according to Kory Teneycke, a top Conservative strategist, and Philippe Lagassé, an academic with expertise in the Parliamentary system and defence policy.
In an interview, Mr. Teneycke, who is Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s top adviser and campaign manager, said Mr. Poilievre should get the briefing because ultimately he is responsible for what is happening in his own party and caucus.
Even though it would make some public commentary more challenging, Carleton University associate professor Philippe Lagassé said on balance the Conservative Leader should get the briefing to ensure he has the information needed to manage his own party.
