Probe to Determine Chinese Interference in Election

Liberals to testify over allegations China worked to defeat Conservative candidates

The Liberal government is coming under fire over alleged Chinese interference in the last federal election.

A House of Commons committee will meet at least three more times this month and is calling up national security agencies and Liberal cabinet ministers to testify.

This started after a report in The Globe and Mail pointed out China worked in the 2021 election to defeat Conservative candidates considered unfriendly to Beijing and to help ensure a Liberal minority government.

Most of the witnesses planned to appear before the committee have already taken part in its probe of allegations of foreign interference in the 2019 election.
