Trudeau says he’s asked for investigation of Chinese foreign interference aimed at Conservative MP
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s asked his officials to investigate a report in The Globe and Mail that says the Chinese government has targeted Canadian MPs behind a Parliamentary motion declaring Beijing’s oppression of Uyghurs to constitute genocide.
Speaking in Question Period Monday, Mr. Trudeau was asked by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre why a report on the matter from CSIS was produced in 2021 but no action was taken. He noted the Chinese diplomat reported by The Globe and Mail as involved in targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong is still listed as working in Beijing’s Toronto consulate.
“This is absolutely unacceptable and it shouldn’t have happened,” Mr. Trudeau told the Commons.
Seriously. We need to learn to riot like the French.
