NDP MP Jenny Kwan is calling for the names of parliamentarians accused of colluding with foreign entities to be released, saying it would deter similar behaviour and help restore the reputations of all MPs, who she says are currently “under a cloud of suspicion.”

“I believe we must find a way to disclose which MPs are knowingly, intentionally, wittingly or semi-wittingly engaging with foreign states or their proxies to undermine Canada’s democratic processes and institutions,” Ms. Kwan said in the House of Commons on June 18. “I believe this can be done in a way that does not compromise national security.”
