VAUGHAN, Ont. — Canada's national security agency briefed the Ontario premier's chief of staff after allegations of election interference by China were tied to a member of his caucus, Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday.
Vincent Ke, a provincial representative for Don Valley North in Toronto, resigned from the Progressive Conservative caucus earlier this month after the allegations surfaced in a Global News report.Ford's office said the meeting occurred in November with then chief-of-staff Jamie Wallace, who then filled in the premier."With CSIS, everything's a big secret, they don't give you a proper briefing in my opinion," Ford said at an announcement in Vaughan, Ont.
That followed a report from Global News that alleged Ke served as a financial intermediary in a Chinese Communist Party election interference scheme.An earlier report by Global News in November referenced the alleged involvement of an Ontario member of provincial parliament, and while Ke wasn't publicly named at the time, Ford's office says the reporter had asked them questions about the provincial representative.
Ford's office says the premier's chief of staff then requested and received a briefing from CSIS, but didn't receive concrete information.
