Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng, infectious-disease scientists from Canada’s top-secret laboratory in Winnipeg who collaborated with researchers in China.Liberal and NDP MPs joined forces Monday to block a parliamentary investigation into the massive security breach at Canada’s high security infectious disease laboratory in Winnipeg.
Documents tabled in the House of Commons late week revealed that the two infectious-disease scientists provided confidential scientific information to China and were fired after a probe concluded Dr. Qiu posed “a realistic and credible threat to Canada’s economic security” and it was discovered they engaged in clandestine meetings with Chinese officials.
But Liberal Igra Khalid moved an immediate motion to adjourn the committee hearings, effectively killing the proposed parliamentary investigation. She was supported by her Liberal colleagues and NDP MP Matthew Green to shut down an investigation.
