Trudeau says some opposition Canada MPs could be involved in foreign interference

A few seconds later he appeared to temper his comments, saying the intelligence about Conservative activities could be "shoddy or incomplete or just allegations from a single source".

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday some members of the official opposition Conservative Party could be involved in foreign interference and alleged the party was not taking the matter seriously.

Trudeau made his remarks to an independent commission probing foreign interference in Canadian politics. Polls show the Conservatives would easily beat Trudeau's Liberals in the next election, which must be held by end-October 2025.

"I have the names of a number of parliamentarians, former parliamentarians and or candidates in the Conservative Party ... who are engaged, or are at high risk of, or for whom there is clear intelligence around foreign interference," Trudeau said.

A few seconds later he appeared to temper his comments, saying the intelligence about Conservative activities could be "shoddy or incomplete or just allegations from a single source".

He did not give further details.
