As are most political party processes (removal from committee/other jammy jobs, caucus defenestration, not signing nomination papers, etc.)
Meanwhile, the latest from
Team Light Blue (via The Canadian Press): we'll read it to find out if there's any rats on our own ship, but we don't be commenting on it.
OTTAWA — Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says any member of his caucus implicated in foreign interference will "pay the price" for their actions.

So far, we have ...
- Red Coach: Knows what's in the full report (as well as whether there may be rats on his ship), directed redactions, said not so much about it in public, says "let's let the Mounties deal with it," has a public history of interference in his caucus as well as mentions in the report
- Blue Coach: Doesn't want to read the full report, has leadership processes mentioned in the report being interfered with in some way (bits already public from the past), no idea if he has any independent idea re: any of his caucus being tainted in the report, says he wants to be able to continue opposing by not being bound by restrictions connected with knowing if there's rats on his ship
- Orange Coach: Read the full report, said some stuff about it in public (much of it different from the Orange coach's assessment), says there's trouble in River City - saying there's some level of problem with some serving members, says he's a target, wants all the coaches to be briefed up
- Green Coach: Read the full report, said a fair bit about it in public (much of it different from the Green coach's assessment), concerned about the issue but says none of her current colleagues (hinting those in the House, anyway) are a problem
- Hogue Commission: yeah, we heard you want us to look into the specific allegations from the NSICOP report & it fits our mandate
- Assistant Deputy Speaker of the House: thanks for your suggestion, MP Kwan, about bringing it to a parliamentary committee - we'll look into it and get back to you
The situation continues to unfold without a real solution everybody is willing to buy into.
