I would be very interested to see the results.
Remember this?

"Dong is an outstanding member of our team and suggestions that he is somehow not loyal to Canada should not be entertained," Trudeau told a news conference in Mississauga.

"Suggestions we've seen in the media, that CSIS would somehow say, 'No, this person can't run or that person can't run,' is not just false, it's actually damaging to people's confidence in our democratic and political institutions."

In a free democracy, it is not up to unelected security officials to dictate to political parties who can or cannot run,” Trudeau said when asked directly about the claims.
Trudeau was briefed on multiple occasions and ignored warnings, that's why the whistleblower came forward (as well as the two new ones). The cat's out of the bag.

As of right now we don't know of briefings about this new allegation yet, so to insinuate that CSIS didn't do it's job is quite a bit premature and presumptuous? CSIS cannot remove an elected official or dictate who can run on their own, as Trudeau eloquently told us a few weeks ago. CSIS would not detain or arrest Han Dong just because he had a secret meeting with a foreign diplomat as an MP.

You can bet they will wait for Trudeau to deny the new story first, and later provide info that they did brief the PMO's office. There's a reason why we are getting this piecemeal this whole time and why Trudeau was so adamant on Telford not testifying.
