The head of the RCMP says he's uneasy with the idea that politicians could use their parliamentary privilege to name colleagues accused of aiding foreign powers. The RCMP has said anyone who leaks classified intelligence could be charged under Canada's secrets law. After the NSICOP report was made public, the RCMP issued a statement that said the force "did not receive information regarding all the matters contained in the report." Duheme told Rosemary Barton Live that since then, the RCMP has circled back with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to see if there are any avenues for further investigation. The use of intelligence as evidence has been a long-standing point of contention among Canada's security agencies, the police and the courts.
