May, Singh, Poilievre, Blanchet cannot act on the information received from the unredacted report. Tom Mulcair specifically explained that as an opposition leader he would absolutely do the same as Poilievre and refuse security clearance for the exact reasons that Poilievre gives.
Likewise members of NSICOP also cannot divulge the information and would go to jail if they do. |
Imagine hypothetically that there were very serious acts of treason committed(not just something that is treason by technicality) as he claims by one or a number of MPs and that he did give some details, do you really think he’s going to end up in jail? Yes or no?
Personally I would say in that case it would be highly unlikely he ever ends up in jail regardless of any legal precedent as it would be political suicide for all other MPs to not do everything they could to protect him from that.
Note that a Supreme Court appeal of the case you’re referring to also hasn’t been heard yet.
While I can appreciate that Tom and Pierre agree on how to best avoid actually dealing with the situation while still being able to use it to try and score additional political points, I guess I just wouldn’t mind seeing a politician actually step up and do the right thing for the people they’re claiming to represent. As naive as that may be to hope for.

The only one that can legitimately divulge the information is the governing party which is lead by Trudeau, or the RCMP if it's actually investigating and had the confidential info referred to them. So far we know only that they are investigating foreign interference in general and will not comment on specifics involving MPs.

Man for some reason I just had a sneaking suspicion when I started reading your post that Trudeau would get brought up.
