    The thing is, I think they can’t. There’s probably a top secret investigation being conducted and it could jeopardize it.

      They literally cannot. I found this out through reading a different article.

      “The report comes from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, known as NSICOP, which is made up of MPs and senators from all parties. 

      If any member of the committee were to disclose publicly what they know, they could face years in prison.”

    As posted yesterday. At this point news outlets is purposely just churning a specific narrative.

    The Public Safety Minister insisted that federal law prevents the government from releasing further information about the people at the centre of those allegations, and he urged party leaders to instead get their own classified briefings and said Canadians should have confidence that police can investigate and lay charges when warranted.

    So far, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has declined to accept a briefing, saying it would muzzle him. Instead, he says the names should be released by the government.
