Trudeau says he’s asked for investigation of Chinese foreign interference aimed at Conservative MP
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has asked his officials to investigate a top-secret CSIS report seen by The Globe and Mail that warns the Chinese government has targeted Canadian MPs behind a parliamentary motion declaring Beijing’s oppression of Uyghurs to constitute genocide.
The Globe and Mail on Monday reported on the July, 2021, intelligence assessment by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service that found China’s intelligence service, the Ministry of State Security , “has taken specific actions to target Canadian MPs” linked to the February, 2021, parliamentary motion condemning Beijing’s oppression of Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities.
Mr. Chong, the Conservative Party’s foreign-affairs critic, released a statement Tuesday saying Ottawa should have informed him about any threats to his family from the Chinese government. The Prime Minister did not address the question of expulsion but said his government intends to set up a foreign-influence registry. Both Australia and the United States already have such registries and Britain is considering establishing one. They require those working on behalf of a foreign power – lobbying, communicating, disbursing money – to register or face criminal charges.
The report warned that Beijing is the “foremost perpetrator” of foreign interference in Canada. Its agents are unconcerned about repercussions, the report says, because of the lack of obstacles such as a foreign-influence registry.
