Also, Trudeau needs to release the names. It's a clear deflection by Trudeau, considering that the PM and the government does have the ability to divulge the names, and has been fighting hard to withhold the names. But considering the Indian-Canada relations being what they are at the moment, it may be why Trudeau is opening up on the part of Indian involvement and how it implicates some Conservative party members.
Now foreign interference focus, which by what we know is expected to be mostly Liberals, has shifted to the Conservatives, likely involving Indian interference within the leadership race and in a byelection. There's one MP in particular who's been in rumours for a while of being potentially compromised and which the NDP has been vocal about.

So...let's release all the names. Poilievre need to step up and get his security clearance. Let's get the traitors and willing actors expelled, and repercussions should be had. |
I don't think he should just release the names. These are all unproven allegations from intelligence gathering, which is not in itself foolproof.
He also mentioned in his comments that the activities could be explained due to incomplete or shoddy intelligence, allegations from a single source, or have reasonable nuance to them.
Simply releasing the names of parliamentarians based on unproven suspicions could create even more problems than it helps. This shouldn't be about just ruining the names of people who may or may not be complicit. There is a reason the report is top secret and requires special clearances - this is not information that should be readily available to the masses.. hell the masses can't even make up their mind on proven scientific facts, let alone nuanced intelligence reports.
The best course of action is for PP to get his clearance, investigate and talk to the members of his own party. Any intelligence of actual criminality will already be acted upon by CSIS or the RCMP as required. This isn't like the Canadian intelligence community has evidence of wrongdoing and is just sitting on it.
