PM's latest testimony comes days after Canada expelled 6 Indian diplomats

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has the names of Conservative parliamentarians who are involved in foreign interference.

In explosive testimony before the foreign interference inquiry today, Trudeau said he instructed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to warn Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and protect the party's integrity.

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

"And I have directed CSIS and others to try and inform the Conservative Party leader to be warned and armed, to be able to make decisions that protect the integrity of that party, of its members, from activities around foreign interference."

The term "parliamentarian" can refer to senators or members of the House of Commons.
