The federal government is “very concerned” that Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) documents were leaked to the press detailing Beijing’s election interference objectives in Canada’s 2021 federal election, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau was asked at a press conference in Halifax on Feb. 23 why he believes top-secret CSIS documents were being leaked to the press and whether or not his government is worried about it.
