NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he will remove any MP from his caucus who is found to have “knowingly worked with a foreign government to undermine Canada,” following publication of the recent National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report.

“If ... it’s clear to me that they knowingly worked with a foreign government to undermine Canada, I will immediately remove them from caucus,” Mr. Singh said during a press conference on June 10. “There’s no way I will approve them to run as a candidate, nor would I allow them to continue to sit in my caucus if they are named.”
