Government finally moving ahead with committee to review firings of two infectious disease scientists

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

OTTAWA – More than two years after controversy first erupted around the firing of two scientists from Canada’s national microbiology lab, the federal government has finally come to an agreement with all opposition parties on a way forward to view the related secret documents.

Mark Holland, the government’s House leader, announced on Wednesday that three former judges would determine which documents related to the firing of Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng in January 2021 could be disclosed without compromising national security.
