Former public safety minister Bill Blair says that a secret memo prepared by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to inform the federal government of Beijing’s targeting of Conservative MP Michael Chong never reached him at the time because it was sent to the wrong office.
“Just to be very clear, CSIS did not brief me on that document,” Blair told reporters in Ottawa on June 14, adding, “I’m advised that they sent it to another office with the intent that I would somehow get to see it, but quite frankly if their intent was that I would actually have that information, my expectation would be that they would come brief me on it.”
