This is the best summary I could come up with:


Under the law that governs NSICOP, the prime minister can direct the committee to submit a "revised version" of any of its reports that leaves out information that could be seen as "injurious" to national security, defence and international relations, or that is protected by solicitor-client privilege.

When asked if she could guarantee that the Liberals will eject from their caucus any parliamentarian found to have engaged in the activities cited in the report, Freeland would not make that commitment.

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc sidestepped a question about the report's conclusion that certain unnamed parliamentarians inappropriately worked with foreign actors.

The federal cabinet, based on the prime minister's recommendations, names its members, who are given security clearances to review the country's most sensitive information.

Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said it should be up to NSICOP to make recommendations on "the next steps" to deal with parliamentarians allegedly helping foreign states.

The NSICOP report described the conduct of some parliamentarians as potentially "illegal" but said it's "unlikely to lead to criminal charges, owing to Canada's failure to address the long-standing issue of protecting classified information and methods of judicial processes."
