Update: No intelligence briefing happened on Chinese funding of candidates: Trudeau | National Newswatch
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Sunday he has never been briefed that any candidates in the 2019 federal election may have been influenced by financing from the Chinese government.
None of the MPs who responded, including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, provided any substantive response beyond insisting Canada's elections were free and fair. Nor did any of them deny having information about any candidates being funded by China. He later stressed that he gets"briefed up regularly from our intelligence and security officials" and none have ever provided any information to him about candidates receiving money.
The Liberals say they supported the motion because the story raised questions that officials should answer at the committee. The motion calls for the government to provide"all relevant" briefing notes and other documents related to the issue within the next two weeks. The chill on Canada-China ties was apparent over the trip, particularly at the G20 summit in Bali where Trudeau said he did speak to President Xi Jinping on the sidelines about"interference with our citizens."
