Very strongly agree

Yes, voters have the right to know if their MP is compromising national security.

A core pillar of the Green Party is participatory democracy; they argue that voters cannot make informed decisions if information regarding an MP's potential compromise by a foreign power is withheld.

Disagree

No, intelligence reports are not criminal convictions and naming them violates due process.

While Elizabeth May has noted that intelligence is not evidence, the party ultimately concluded that the political accountability of MPs to their constituents outweighs the due process concerns usually reserved for criminal trials.

Strongly disagree

No, prosecute them in court rather than destroying reputations with unproven allegations.

The party has expressed frustration with the lack of RCMP charges and the 'administrative' handling of these allegations, arguing that the public should not have to wait for a potentially non-existent court case to know the truth.
