Trudeau defends Han Dong amid report CSIS warned of foreign influence concerns
In a statement published Monday, Dong said he “strongly” rejects “the insinuations in media reporting that allege played a role in offshore interference.”“Safeguarding Canada’s democracy is integral to public service. I will support all fact-based efforts from parliamentarians to investigate alleged offshore interference and if called upon look forward to refuting these anonymous and unverified allegations,” Dong’s statement read.
On Monday, Trudeau said that Jody Thomas — his top national security and intelligence adviser — and Global Affairs Canada Deputy Minister David Morrison will testify later this week at a parliamentary committee investigating foreign interference issues.
