As questions continue to swirl around the issue of other countries' meddling in Canadian affairs, interim RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme says he's "very, very concerned" about foreign interference, and would like to see the national force be able to use intelligence as evidence in its investigations.
"I've seen it through a criminal lens, as to what we've been involved with; foreign actor interference. And I also see it through when the service briefs the round table at the deputy minister level. So yes, I am very, very concerned." Duheme said he'd "definitely" like to be able to use more intelligence as evidence, but he understands the challenges around how that intelligence is sometimes collected. It's something the two federal agencies have been working on for several years, he said.
Conversation around delineating the difference between intelligence and evidence has come up during the recent parliamentary committee hearings on the issue of foreign interference, with numerous top federal security officials cautioning MPs that taking intelligence "out of context" or without the appropriate caveats can be "very pernicious."
