A backbench Liberal MP from Toronto is rejecting what he calls “inaccurate and irresponsible” allegations that China helped him get elected as part of a campaign of interference in Canadian democracy.
OTTAWA - A Liberal member of Parliament is denying a report that alleges China helped him win the nomination to be a candidate for the party in the 2019 election.
The report cites anonymous sources that alleged the Canadian Security Intelligence Service urged senior Liberal party staff to rescind his nomination, but party leader Justin Trudeau approved his candidacy. He says all procedures and processes related to his campaign and political career have been continually, transparently and publicly reported as required.
The Conservative party is also calling for Trudeau’s chief of staff to testify at a House of Commons committee studying foreign interference.
