And this is exactly why the security clearances don't matter. May says it's basically a nothingburger involving former politicians while Singh is suggesting in involves current policitians and acts as if he's quite upset, but apparently is not upset enough to actually hold the government accountable.

Meanwhile Trudeau doesn't even believe the damn report and Joly says Liberal MPs aren't involved.

The only thing Poilievre having the clearance and reading thr report will be a 5th opinion on what has occurred; this is functionally useless to us as voters because we still won't know who's full of shit and who's not.

We, the people, need the names for ourselves!

I think the bigger concern is that if there are other foreign influenced MPs who aren't listed in the report, then they and the country influencing them realize that CSIS/Canada doesn't know about them. Keeping it vague and uncertain makes it more likely that those people will be concerned and may reduce their interference to avoid detection.

Likewise, revealing which MPs are known to be influenced may reveal moles or informants that Canada has, thus curtailing future efforts at limiting foreign interference.
