“Canada has worked with China to fight crime since 2010, and we always follow our intelligence agencies' advice. I met with China's foreign minister to talk about shared interests. I also challenged him on human rights, security, and China targeting people in other countries.”
“Mr. Speaker, let me be frank with this House and with Canadians: Canada has entered into MOUs with China with respect to combatting crime in various forms since 2010 and, as has historically been the case with this agreement, the advice of Canada’s intelligence agencies is always followed. I had a productive exchange with China’s minister of foreign affairs regarding areas of mutual interest. I raised issues relating to transnational repression, human rights and security domestically. I will always stand up for Canadian values.”
