He praised the whistleblowers who showed Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents to media about the extent of China’s interference in the 2019 and 2020 elections
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minster Justin Trudeau of playing into China’s hands by refusing to hold a public inquiry on foreign interference.
Mr. Poilievre praised the whistleblowers who showed Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents to The Globe and Mail and Global News about the extent of China’s interference in the 2019 and 2020 elections. The Prime Minister responded to Mr. Poilievre attack, saying he is undermining faith in democratic institutions by claiming the government failed to deal with Chinese interference because it benefited the Liberal Party.
Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet also held a news conference Tuesday and said China “must be slapping its sides” at hearing Mr. Trudeau would not hold a public inquiry. On Tuesday, Mr. Trudeau criticized the former Conservative government, where Mr. Poilievre served as a cabinet minister, for its opposition to NSICOP.
Mr. Poilievre and Mr. Blanchet said they will not withdraw their MPs from the NSICOP even though their members are bound by Canadian secrecy laws.
