OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered his most detailed explanation yet on Wednesday about what kind of"interference" he brought up with Chinese President Xi Jinping in a meeting earlier this month.
During question period in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked,"What specific interference was the prime minister referring to when he raised his serious concerns about interference with the Chinese president?""We've known for many years that there are consistent engagements by representatives of the Chinese government into Canadian communities, with local media, reports of illicit Chinese police stations," he said.
Poilievre also asked whether the prime minister was ever briefed about"interference" and Trudeau responded that he is regularly briefed by intelligence officials and security experts on threats to Canada,"whether it be cyberthreats, whether it be interference with Canadian diaspora communities, whether it be use of online misinformation or disinformation."
Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault told the committee on Tuesday that he was"not in a position to speak to the accuracy of the contents of the recent news reports."
