Is Canada trying to match or outdo American hostility to China?TORONTO—Is Canada trying to match or outdo American hostility to China? Government actions point to such an ill-considered approach. Rather than seeking to develop a more constructive relationship, while defending our values, the Trudeau government seems to be going out of its way to engage in its own Cold War with China. In a recent speech in Washington, D.C., Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland endorsed U.S. President Joe Biden’s plan for “near-shoring,” which means prioritizing imports from friendly allies rather than China. But it’s also a new form of protectionism that will fragment, at great expense, existing supply chains and result in higher prices for many products. While we must avoid dependence on one country for products critical to national security, that should be a very small list. Freeland’s visit to Washington was quickly followed by that of Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne where he, reportedly, promised to reduce Canadian imports from China, a lose-lose scenario since China could reduce imports from Canada. Returning to Canada, Champagne then ordered Chinese investors to sell their shares in three Canadian junior mining companies, because, he claimed, they threatened Canadian national security even though two of them were pursing projects in Chile and Argentina, not Canada. The order may have had more to do with accommodating U.S. efforts to reduce China’s presence in Latin America. Asked to explain, Industry Canada said “the government has concluded that a lack of secure access to critical minerals found and developed both within and outside of Canada, by Canadian firms, is a source of national security risk for Canada.” This is a dramatic shift from January when the government approved the $960-million takeover of Neo Lithium Corp., a Canadian company developing a lithium mine in Argentina, by a Chinese state-owned enterprise. The new policy will hurt small Canadian mining companies seeking capital and could weaken Canada’s role a

Politics This Morning: Rouleau Commission begins final week of Emergencies Act hearingsGood Monday morning, Prime Minister JUSTIN TRUDEAU has returned to Ottawa after an international tour that included stops in Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Tunisia. Trudeau spent the weekend in Djerba, Tunisia, for the 18th summit of La Francophonie. Trudeau and high-profile members of his cabinet are scheduled to testify this week before the Public Order Emergency Commission. The commission, which has set this Friday as the final day for witness testimony, will have to cover a lot of ground this week in order to get through the final names on its witness list. Senior CSIS officials DAVID VIGNEAULT, MICHELLE TESSIER, and MARIE-HELENE CHAYER are scheduled to testify at 9:30 a.m. Ottawa time today, to be followed by Emergency Preparedness Minister BILL BLAIR. The rest of the week will see testimony from Intergovernmental Affairs Minister DOMINIC LEBLANC, Public Safety Minister MARCO MENDICINO, Attorney General DAVID LAMETTI, Defence Minister ANITA ANAND, Transport Minister OMAR ALGHABRA, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister CHRYSTIA FREELAND, and KATIE TELFORD and other senior PMO staffers. Trudeau is the last witness on the list. On Friday, commission counsel questioned JANICE CHARETTE, the clerk of the Privy Council, about a Privy Council Office memorandum advising the prime minister to invoke the Emergencies Act, but also acknowledging that this decision might be vulnerable to a legal challenge later on.

The Hill Times photograph by Cynthia Münster In case you missed it, ELIZABETH MAY won the Green Party’s leadership race on Saturday. May ran on a co-leadership platform with activist and former journalist JONATHAN PEDNEAULT, but the party’s constitution will need to be changed to allow for co-leaders. Until then, May will serve as leader and Pedneault, 32, will ser
