Prime Minister has initiated two closed-door investigations after facing growing calls to investigate Beijing’s influence activities
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has initiated two closed-door probes of Chinese election interference that will be reviewed by a special rapporteur after facing growing calls to investigate Beijing’s influence activities.
NSICOP is an entity that is not a committee of Parliament although it includes MPs from all major parties and several senators. Its reports are sent to the Prime Minister’s Office which has the ability to redact information for national security reasons. The committee, which meets in secret, has examined foreign interference in past reports that were largely ignored by the government.
“The independent special rapporteur will have a wide mandate to make expert recommendations on protecting and enhancing Canadians’ faith in our democracy,” he said. “The independent rapporteur will make public recommendations that could include a public inquiry or some other independent review process.”
Mr. Trudeau has asked CSIS to find the whistle-blowers and the RCMP announced Monday that an investigation is now underway into the leaks. The RCMP is not investigating China’s interference operations that include allegations of illegal violations of Canada’s election laws, citing a lack of evidence to stand up in court.
Secret and top-secret documents viewed by The Globe show that Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the 2021 re-election of Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals – but only to another minority government – and worked to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.
