Is it true that Fred Rose, a Canadian Member of Parliament and communist, was convicted in 1946 of conspiracy to pass secret information to the Soviet Union?

Yes. A Wikipedia biography and a 1983 Washington Times article both report that Canadian Communist MP Fred Rose was convicted of conspiring to pass weapons research to the Soviet Union, and a UK National Archives record confirms he volunteered to spy for the Russians and was arrested in 1945.
