Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has accepted Justin Trudeau’s offer to be briefed on a national security matter that involved a convicted attempted murderer’s invitation to events with the prime minister in India.

However, Scheer wrote in a release this morning, he’s inviting members of the Conservative caucus and the media to the portion of the briefing that will cover “non-classified information,” which includes the information that national security advisor Daniel Jean provided to journalists.

“In correspondence with my Chief of Staff, the government confirmed that the information provided to journalists by Daniel Jean was not classified. In addition, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness confirmed that the information provided to the media by the National Security Advisor did not contain classified information,” said Scheer in the release.

“Given these admissions, I believe it is appropriate for all members of the Conservative caucus to be present for the briefing and I will invite them to attend. I will also invite members of the media who were present for the original briefing with the National Security Advisor,” wrote Scheer.

For weeks, Conservative MPs have hammered the Liberal government with questions about why Jaspal Atwal, a convicted attempted murderer, was invited to events with Trudeau in India and, subsequently, about the briefing Jean gave reporters who were part of the press delegation.

Atwal was convicted of attempting to kill Indian cabinet minister Malkiat Singh Sidhu on Vancouver Island in 1986. Atwal was also charged, but not convicted, in connection with a 1985 attack on Ujjal Dosanjh — an opponent of the Sikh separatist movement who later became B.C. premier and a federal Liberal cabinet minister.

Scheer told the government that if it had any additional classified information to share, Conservative members who are also members of the Queen’s Privy Council will remain in the room for a separate briefing.

Almost two weeks ago Conservative MPs forced government MPs to pull an all nighter and endure 20 hours of voting. The procedural tactic came after Liberal MPs defeated a Conservative motion calling for Jean to testify before a House of Commons committee.
