Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Sunday he plans to continue campaigning as normal after wearing body armor the night before, a move the CBC reported was due to threats to his security.

“This will not change at all how I campaign,” Trudeau said, on the sidelines of a campaign event in York, a week ahead of Canadian legislative elections.

When asked to answer journalists’ questions about the threats against him, Trudeau explained, “My first concern was for my family and for all the Canadians in the room,” but refused to comment further. Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democratic Party , called the threats against Trudeau “troubling” in a Saturday night tweet.

The prime minister gave his speech without incident, surrounded by multiple police officers, and then mingled with the crowd before leaving the room.
