A Commons committee probing Chinese interference in the 2019 election is being recalled Tuesday during Parliament’s scheduled two-week break to extend its mandate to the 2021 federal campaign in response to what opposition MPs have calledConservative, New Democratic and Bloc Québécois MPs demanded that the procedure and house affairs committee resume hearings after The Globe and Mail reported Friday that China had actively worked in the 2021 campaign to elect a Liberal minority...
“The public has been kept in the dark. This is a very serious matter and Canadians deserve transparency from this government about what it knew about Chinese Communist Party interference in the 2021 election,” said Conservative MP Michael Cooper, a member of the committee. CSIS was required to submit documents on Chinese election interference in the 2019 election to the Commons committee, but they were heavily redacted.
The CSIS documents outlining China’s activities in the 2021 election were shared with senior government officials, including the Privy Council Office that reports directly to the Prime Minister’s Office. Many of these documents were also shared with Canada’s Five Eyes allies of the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, as well as German and French spy services.
The CSIS documents say the Chinese Communist Party leadership in Beijing was “pressuring its consulates to create strategies to leverage politically [active] Chinese community members and associations within Canadian society.” Ms. Vaillancourt said an independent panel set up in 2019 to assess and analyze foreign election interference had access to the most highly classified information. The panel concluded that “while foreign interference attempts absolutely existed, the 2019 and 2021 elections unfolded with integrity,’ she said.
Yes. please. PLEASE investigate conservative ties to communist russia and china. For canada.
A must.
So: Chinese students worked on Canadian election campaigns, at the direction of the Chinese government. On top of the other major espionage activities, these foreign election volunteers interfered with our democratic election process at the most basic local riding level.
I am sure Justin Trudeau will dangle one of theJagmeetSingh list of demands in his face and he will shut it down lol

What is the problem. This foreign election interference has been going on for years. Canada has an over abu dance of weak loyalty politicians. From civic to federal.
If the reports of illegal campaign funding were made and no action taken this is a big problem. Those are crimes people have spent time in jail for. To excuse them because a Macro election result wouldnt change is a compete dodge. Del Mastro's seat wouldnt change 2011 result
