David Johnston was appointed special rapporteur to look into reports of Chinese government meddling in Canada\u0027s 2019 and 2021 elections.
“Justin Trudeau has named a “family friend,” old neighbour from the cottage, and member of the Beijing-funded Trudeau Foundation, to be the “independent” rapporteur on Beijing’s interference,” Poilievre said Thursday.
“They are engaging in horrific partisan attacks against a man of extraordinary integrity, and if everyone needed a really clear indication that partisanship is more important to Conservatives then actual facts in reality, their completely unfounded attacks on David Johnston are exactly that.” Trudeau said Johnston is a non-partisan individual who will be able to ask questions to find out where improvements need to be made or “or conversely say, no, there’s a real problem, the whole system is broken. We need to fix it.”
“He’s known about it since at least 2017, six years ago, when he began getting detailed briefings of this interference…Still, he covers it up, fighting against an open public inquiry.”
