Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has told Canada’s spy agency it needs to share more information with the federal government about threats to MPs and their families following reports that the Chinese government was targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family.
“We are making that directive now,” Trudeau told reporters Wednesday.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), he said, “knew about certain things, didn’t feel that it reached a threshold that required them to pass it up out of CSIS or give more than just a defensive briefing to Mr. Chong a few months later.”
