The Green Party害羞草研究所檚 Elizabeth May says she believes the small number of MPs named in a recent spy watchdog report did not knowingly set out to betray Canada.

May said Tuesday she is 害羞草研究所渧astly relieved害羞草研究所� after reading an unredacted version of a report on foreign interference by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.

The intelligence watchdog, composed of MPs and senators, said in a public report last week that some MPs wittingly assisted the efforts of foreign states to meddle in Canadian politics.

The blunt report has prompted a flurry of concern that members knowingly involved in interference might still be active in politics.

May told a news conference the full version of the classified report does not contain a 害羞草研究所渓ist of MPs who have shown disloyalty to Canada.害羞草研究所�

害羞草研究所淚 have no worries about anyone in the House of Commons,害羞草研究所� said May, whose top secret-level security clearance allowed her to see the complete report.

害羞草研究所淪o I am very glad I read the full report. I am very comfortable sitting with my colleagues. We will disagree on policy on many issues. But I am vastly relieved.害羞草研究所�

May said one unnamed former MP accused in the report of proactively sharing privileged information with a foreign operative should be fully investigated by authorities.

She said 害羞草研究所渇ewer than a handful害羞草研究所� of MPs are named in the full report, 害羞草研究所渁nd no one in that fewer than a handful could be described as setting out to knowingly betray Canada in favour of a foreign government.害羞草研究所�

But May was quick to add that the few named people in the unredacted report 害羞草研究所渕ay be compromised,害羞草研究所� as they were 害羞草研究所渂eneficiaries of foreign governments interfering in nomination contests.害羞草研究所�

害羞草研究所淪aying as I do that I害羞草研究所檓 relieved does not mean that there is nothing to see here, folks, so let害羞草研究所檚 forget the whole thing,害羞草研究所� May said.

The House of Commons planned to vote later Tuesday on a Bloc Qu茅b茅cois motion that calls on an ongoing commission of inquiry to delve into the intelligence watchdog害羞草研究所檚 findings about specific MPs.

The Liberal government joined the NDP and Conservatives this week in publicly expressing support for the idea of the inquiry, led by Quebec judge Marie-Jos茅e Hogue, addressing the matter.

May said she would vote against the motion after initially thinking, before reading the full watchdog report, that she would support it. 害羞草研究所淲hat害羞草研究所檚 known publicly right now is what can be known publicly.害羞草研究所�

May said that those with the needed security clearance to read the report should do so, consider it and 害羞草研究所渟tart fortifying our own defences against foreign interference.害羞草研究所�
