Conservative and Bloc MPs have called for an emergency meeting of the House of Commons public safety committee to probe espionage allegations against a Canadian former intern arrested by Belgian authorities on suspicion of espionage.
“These allegations are deeply concerning and raise serious questions about Canada’s national security screening processes,” Conservative MP Frank Caputo said in a statement on Thursday.
“Parliament must determine whether there were gaps in Canada’s security screening system and whether those gaps could have exposed sensitive information or put the security of Canada and our allies at risk.”
