Senior officials of Trudeau govt leaked intel about India to US publication alleges leading Canadian media
security adviser and the deputy minister of foreign affairs reportedly provided “sensitive intelligence about India to The Washington Post days before the RCMP publicly alleged that Indian government agents have been linked to homicides, extortions and other violent criminal activities in Canada,” leading Canadian daily Global and Mail alleged in its new report.
“Two sources say Nathalie Drouin, a former deputy minister at Justice and now Mr. Trudeau’s top national security and intelligence adviser, and David Morrison, deputy minister at Global Affairs, gave a briefing on India’s interference operations in Canada to The Washington Post in the week before Thanksgiving. The intelligence was not to be reported until RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme held a news conference on Thanksgiving Day,” The Globe and Mail reported quoting two sources.
A spokesperson for Ms. Drouin and Mr. Morris denied any classified information was shared, according to Globe and Mail.
“None of the information in the public domain that has been reported on is the result of classified intelligence,” Privy Council media official Daniel Savoie said in a statement. “In regard to questions about additional serious violence, we would refer you to the unsealed U.S. indictment from November 2023 which identified plans to carry out three killings within Canada.”
The U.S. indictment identified the killing of Mr. Nijjar, but never mentioned the names of two other Canadians targeted for assassination, including Mr. Gill from Winnipeg, the Globe and Mail
