Former aide denies stalling spy warrant at inquiry
OTTAWA A former chief of staff to a Liberal public safety minister testifies at a federal inquiry into foreign interference, denying claims she slowed the 2021 CSIS spy warrant. The hearing notes the 54 day delay, questions she asked, and her recollection of a briefing on the warrant. Blair testified he signed the warrant without knowing its full timeline, while Drouin defended MPs and said no espionage occurred. The inquiry continues with a final report due later this year.
