Erin O’Toole learned this in a briefing with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Friday
identified a major intelligence communication breakdown in the government’s failure to alert Mr. Chong back in 2021 of the evidence gathered by CSIS that the Chinese government was targeting him., Mr. Johnston said he learned that CSIS sent a note to then-minister of public safety Bill Blair, the minister’s chief of staff and his deputy minister in May, 2021, alerting them of intelligence “indicating the PRC intended to target Mr. Chong, another [unidentified] MP and their family in China.
“This is certainly the most prominent, but not the only, example of poor information flow and processing between agencies, the public service and ministers,” Mr. Johnston wrote. Mr. Trudeau said this week he will not call an independent public inquiry into Chinese interference in Canadian politics after Mr. Johnston recommended against one.
He concluded, however, that because intelligence about Beijing’s activities is highly classified, it could never be openly discussed with Canadians in a public inquiry.A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy denied China was conducting foreign interference in Canada.
