Liberals refuse to say if current Cabinet ministers named in foreign interference report

Coming on the heels of the release of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) report, Conservative MP Andrew Scheer asked the Liberal government during Thursday's question period if any current sitting Cabinet members were included in that report.
While avoiding a yes or no answer, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc said the Liberal government takes issues of foreign interference "very seriously." He also pointed out the Trudeau government is the "first government to take this issue [of foreign interference] seriously," adding "the previous Conservative government did absolutely nothing to secure our democratic erosions of public warnings from [Canadian Security Intelligence Service] CSIS for the last two years."
LeBlanc also said the Liberals are working towards implementing Justice Hogue's recommendations brought forth during the Foreign Interference Commission.
The NSICOP report didn't publicly name Liberal politicians who were working with countries hostile to Canada, such as Iran, China, and India. This also comes as Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland remained mum on the matter, and as other members of the Liberal caucus have said they won't discuss particularities of intelligence information publicly.
