Opposition parties passed a parliamentary committee motion calling for an independent probe into foreign interference but Trudeau says there is already sufficient scrutiny
in Canadian politics, saying there are already enough examinations of the matter under way.
The Globe and Mail reported Feb. 17, based on Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents, that China employed a sophisticated strategy to disrupt Canada’s democracy in the 2021 election campaign., viewed by The Globe, reveal that Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the re-election of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals – but only to another minority government – and worked to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.
The CSIS documents, laid out in a Globe report, outline how China spread falsehoods on social media and provided undeclared cash donations in the 2021 election. The documents also outline how Beijing directed Chinese students studying in Canada to work as campaign volunteers, and illegally returned portions of donations so donors were not out of pocket after claiming a tax receipt.
The Globe asked NSICOP Friday whether it’s undertaking a study of Chinese state interference in Canada during the 2021 and 2019 elections. In an e-mailed statement, the NSICOP Secretariat declined to say. It pointed out that it has examined Ottawa’s response to foreign interference in past reports. The Secretariat said the committee posts an advisory if it initiates a review.
Mr. Cooper alleged that Mr. Trudeau “is showing nothing but contempt for Parliament” by not embracing the motion for an inquiry.
