OTTAWA — Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet says any member of his caucus implicated in foreign interference will “pay the price” for their actions.

Blanchet told reporters Tuesday the Parliament of a G7 country cannot afford to have MPs who are under the influence of foreign, hostile powers.

The Bloc leader is taking steps to obtain the top secret-level security clearance needed to read the full version of a recent classified report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.
