Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, RCMP.
00:00:02.000 I was hoping to help you guys report or investigate a crime.
00:00:07.000 Okay, what kind of crime is it?
00:00:10.000 The crime is treason.
00:00:12.000 All right, it has to do with?
00:00:14.000 Well, there's been these news items in the news
00:00:17.000 talking about how Canada's National Security Committee
00:00:20.000 has seen elected members of Parliament
00:00:23.000 have been taking part in foreign interference.
00:00:26.000 Okay.
00:00:27.000 And if you look at Canada's Criminal Code, Section 462B and 462E,
00:00:32.000 that could very well be considered treason,
00:00:34.000 depending on what this foreign interference is.
00:00:38.000 All right, well, let me put you through to one of the constables in the back
00:00:41.000 and then he can help you with that.
00:00:44.000 So just hold on a minute, will you?
00:00:46.000 Sure, great, thank you.
00:00:47.000 They're forwarding me to a constable right now.
00:00:50.000 Oh.
00:00:51.000 Hello?
00:00:53.000 Yes?
00:00:54.000 Hi, is this...
00:00:56.000 Hi.
00:00:57.000 Was I just forwarded to a constable?
00:00:59.000 It's Sergeant Farad Denker here.
00:01:01.000 How can I help you, sir?
00:01:03.000 I'm doing well, thank you.
00:01:05.000 I was calling you guys to see if you're looking into this foreign interference
00:01:11.000 that's been reported in the news.
00:01:13.000 As I was looking at Canada's Criminal Code,
00:01:16.000 specifically Section 462B and 462E,
00:01:20.000 and it very well could be considered treason.
00:01:22.000 So I thought I'd call the RCMP just to make sure you guys are investigating this
00:01:26.000 potentially criminal behavior of some of our public officials.
00:01:33.000 I'm sorry, sir.
00:01:34.000 I missed that last part.
00:01:35.000 You broke up?
00:01:36.000 If you've...
00:01:37.000 Have you seen in the news recently that according to Canada's National Security Committee,
00:01:42.000 that elected members of Parliament have been taking part in foreign interference?
00:01:48.000 Okay?
00:01:49.000 And if you read Canada's...
00:01:50.000 Have you heard of this?
00:01:52.000 A little bit, yes.
00:01:54.000 Right.
00:01:55.000 I would hope so.
00:01:57.000 So according to Canada's Criminal Code, Section 46 is on treason and specifically 462B and 2E,
00:02:06.000 I think this would relate potentially to the conversations or the transactions that are happening
00:02:11.000 with our members of Parliament who are so-called taking part in foreign interference.
00:02:16.000 So I'm just kind of curious if the RCMP is looking into this.
00:02:19.000 I just thought I would call this in to report this potential crime and to see if you guys
00:02:24.000 are looking into it to find out who these members of Parliament are.
00:02:29.000 Well, seeing as this has just been posted to the CBC News website about 20 minutes ago, sir,
00:02:40.000 I really don't have a lot of information other than what's on the CDC right now.
00:02:50.000 And I would not be able to confirm or deny that an investigation is ongoing right at this moment.
00:02:58.000 Sure.
00:02:59.000 For you.
00:03:00.000 Yeah, no, I appreciate that.
00:03:01.000 Does the RCMP...
00:03:02.000 Are you guys...
00:03:03.000 Like, do you ever receive information from potentially CSIS or Canada's National Security Committee?
00:03:09.000 Because these are the people who are report...
00:03:11.000 Specifically the National Security Committee is reporting that MPs may have took part in foreign interference.
00:03:17.000 Do you guys use other sources of information at the RCMP other than CBC News?
00:03:23.000 Yes, sir.
00:03:24.000 Yeah, we do.
00:03:25.000 Great, great.
00:03:26.000 Do you know if anyone at the RCMP is in talks with people from the National Security Committee
00:03:34.000 who are reporting this, you know, potentially nefarious foreign interference from our members
00:03:38.000 of Parliament?
00:03:39.000 No, sir.
00:03:40.000 I...
00:03:41.000 Can I ask?
00:03:42.000 Are you a member of government or anything like...
00:03:46.000 I'm just a concerned citizen who is like...
00:03:50.000 I was just reading her criminal code of what constitutes as treason.
00:03:54.000 I can read it for you if you want.
00:03:57.000 Everyone...
00:03:58.000 Are you with the...
00:03:59.000 Are you with the...
00:04:00.000 Hello?
00:04:01.000 Oh, sir.
00:04:02.000 Can you hear me?
00:04:03.000 Yep.
00:04:04.000 Sorry, I don't...
00:04:05.000 Are you with the media?
00:04:07.000 I'm not part of any sort of like major media organization, no.
00:04:13.000 Okay.
00:04:14.000 So, I mean, as I said, sir, I can't...
00:04:18.000 I cannot confirm or deny an investigation that is ongoing, you know, in my position,
00:04:29.000 unless there's a press release about it.
00:04:34.000 So, I don't know what information you're looking for, but other than what's on the news
00:04:43.000 right now that's publicly available, I would not be able to discuss anything more than
00:04:47.000 that.
00:04:48.000 Okay, great.
00:04:49.000 So, when you say like a public, like a news release, would that be from the RCMP kind
00:04:56.000 of making an official statement about it?
00:04:58.000 Is that what you mean?
00:05:00.000 I...
00:05:01.000 Yeah.
00:05:02.000 If the RCMP was to issue a press release in regards to an investigation, yeah, that's...
00:05:07.000 That would be the RCMP reporting as an organization that they're investigating the matter, yes.
00:05:15.000 Okay.
00:05:16.000 Okay, great.
00:05:18.000 So, can you confirm or deny if the RCMP is looking into this or not?
00:05:24.000 No, I cannot.
00:05:25.000 No, I cannot.
00:05:26.000 Okay.
00:05:27.000 Okay.
00:05:28.000 Well, as a concerned citizen, I surely hope you guys are because, you know, we pay these
00:05:37.000 members of parliament a lot in taxes and it would be pretty irritating if they were allowed
00:05:42.000 to kind of just casually commit treason and kind of be traitors to the country, you know?
00:05:47.000 I believe actually the sentence for treason is actually a lifetime imprisonment.
00:05:52.000 So, kind of serious stuff.
00:05:54.000 I understand your concern, sir, and I can't say anything further other than to say that
00:06:03.000 I understand your deep concern about it as a citizen.
00:06:07.000 And, I mean, we are a national police force and part of our job is to investigate such offenses
00:06:19.000 if they are reported and if they come to our attention.
00:06:26.000 So, I can't confirm or deny anything further than what I've told you, sir.
00:06:31.000 Okay, great.
00:06:32.000 If there was...
00:06:33.000 Okay?
00:06:34.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:35.000 I just wanted to make sure...
00:06:36.000 I'm hoping you guys are looking into this.
00:06:38.000 You can't really confirm or deny that you are.
00:06:42.000 Yeah, just wanted to send in a call, bring it to your attention.
00:06:46.000 You know, I saw online that I should report a crime, make sure you guys are looking into this.
00:06:51.000 It seems to be a high-level thing and it would be a good thing for the RCMP to look into.
00:06:56.000 So, just making sure you guys are doing your job.
00:06:59.000 Thank you, sir.
00:07:00.000 I appreciate that.
00:07:01.000 All right.
00:07:02.000 Thanks.
00:07:03.000 Okay.
00:07:04.000 Take care.
00:07:05.000 I mean, this is Canada.
00:07:11.000 He sure talked a good game.
00:07:13.000 Kind of concerning when he said, well, this was just posted on CBC 30 minutes ago.
00:07:20.000 Actually, this was reported on a few days ago.
00:07:24.000 Yeah, but hey, at least he's there to quickly get the CBC homepage.
00:07:31.000 I don't know if that's like the main homepage for RCMP officers, but anyway, there you go.
00:07:38.000 RCMP cannot confirm or deny if they're looking into this or not.
00:07:43.000 I don't know.
00:07:47.000 Kind of feel helpless as a citizen right now.
00:07:50.000 So.
