Security advice was followed with Boyle meeting: Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is suggesting security officials raised no red flags when his office arranged last month for him to meet freed hostage Joshua Boyle and his family.

Trudeau met with Boyle, his American wife, and their three children in the prime minister’s Parliament Hill office on Dec. 18. He told a Halifax radio station on Jan. 9 that the advice of security officials was followed.
