I would be very interested to see the results.

It does raise interesting questions.
If this information is factually correct why wouldn’t the government or CSIS act? There are only a few possibilities
1) the conversations didn’t rise to the level of criminality.
2) Csis is compromised
3) the government is compromised
4) the government is covering up their negligence in allowing him to become an MP
5) the government is covering up something adjacent to this but unrelated to China
6) they were allowing him to have these conversations to monitor China
The other question is what changed that this guy is leaking now? Did something stop happening within CSIS? I suspect (assuming the leaker is working for good) that they no longer feel there will be an internal resolution. This would mean things have been happening behind closed doors but have reached the point where no further action is being taken.
I hope PP and Jagmeet have gone behind close doors with whatever security clearance they have as part of this to ensure that they aren’t blowing a spying operation.
But if I have to be from the above it’s 5) but I think 6 is the next most likely
