Marco Mendicino

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office says he learned about the prison transfer of Paul Bernardo the day it happened — a day earlier than Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino.

New Democrat MP Jenny Kwan said on Monday, May 29, 2023, that Canada's spy agency has confirmed her long-held belief she is being targeted by the Chinese government, as the prime minister granted the NDP's wish to allow more party members to review top-secret intelligence.

Canada's spy agency has now been formally directed to investigate and disclose any foreign threats against parliamentarians or their families, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said on Tuesday, while the Conservative MP targeted by Beijing urged his colleagues to go further.

The RCMP says it expects officers in three parts of the country to start field-testing body-worn cameras in the coming days.
