Han Dong missed voting on one of the genocide motions despite being present to vote on other motions before and after it on the same day.
Dong also missed a vote in his first term in office that declared what the Chinese government was doing to the Uyghurs was in fact a genocide. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet abstained from that vote, but his MPs were free to vote as they chose. No MPs voted against it.
“It is getting into one of the most sensitive issues. China would list a range of issues as what they call ‘core interests’,” he said.Article content There were two other votes in Parliament between the 2019 and 2021 elections directly related to China: one denouncing China’s foreign policy and calling on the government to make a decision on Huawei within 30 days and the other creating the parliamentary committee on Canada-China relations.
Dong did not respond to questions about the missed votes or his view on the Uyghur genocide before press time, but he has denounced media reports suggesting he was helped by foreign interference.Article content
