This is the best summary I could come up with:
Some of the MPs mentioned in a classified version of a national-security watchdog’s report into foreign interference are traitors to Canada, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said in an explosive press conference, in which he also accused the Prime Minister of allowing malign states to infest domestic politics.
He said he now has even more faith in the conclusions reached in the public version of the report released last week by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP).
Based on information revealed at the public inquiry into foreign interference, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service gave Liberal Party officials a classified briefing before the 2019 election about irregularities in Mr. Dong’s nomination race.
In response to Mr. Singh, Mr. Poilievre’s spokesperson, Sam Lilly, said the NDP was deflecting and said the leader’s press conference shows the futility of reading the classified report, because he didn’t go further than the conclusions in the public version and wasn’t able to disclose the names of the parliamentarians implicated.
In a statement, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet criticized the contradictory messages from Ms. May and Mr. Singh and suggested that they indirectly shared the classified report’s contents.
University of Ottawa professor Thomas Juneau, who specializes in national security and intelligence, said the contradictory assessments of the report and the absence of a transparent and rigorous process to deal with the allegations has led to the “worst of both worlds right now, which is confusion and chaos.”
