Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says a Liberal colleague should not have criticized the work of the RCMP as it investigates organizations alleged to have doubled as secret Chinese police stations in the Montreal area.

“It’s not an appropriate or ideal circumstance to have MPs from the government, or from the opposition, to offer comments while there’s an investigation under way,” said Mr. LeBlanc.
