Chong said he had been briefed by CSIS about foreign interference more generally, but was never told anything about his family.
“The government did not inform me that a diplomat was targeting my family, nor did the government take any action to expel the diplomat responsible for orchestrating this intimidation campaign.”
He said the Chinese diplomat is a diplomat in name only and it is well past time the government sends him home. Trudeau arranged for Chong to have a briefing with the head of CSIS and the national security adviser on Tuesday. He said he has also made it clear to CSIS that in future any information about threats to an MP or their family should be shared.
