OTTAWA — RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme is among a slate of top security officials set to meet the House of Commons national security committee, weeks after making explosive allegations against the Indian government.

The RCMP said it took the extraordinary step of talking publicly about ongoing investigations because of threats to public safety.

The Indian government denies the allegations and has expelled six Canadian diplomats.
The committee is also set to hear from the prime minister’s national security adviser and the director of CSIS today, and will later question Joly and Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
