Michael Chong Conservative
“The government said foreign meddling from China is Canada's biggest threat, but it is still working with China. It also promised to deport nearly 30 Iranian agents, but has only deported one. How can Canadians believe this government takes foreign meddling seriously?”
“Mr. Speaker, a year ago, the Prime Minister said that the PRC’s foreign interference was the greatest threat to the security of Canada. The government now has a strategic partnership with the PRC. A year ago, the government said that nearly 30 operatives linked to the Iranian regime were here in Canada and should be deported. A year later, only one has been deported. How can Canadians believe that the government is treating foreign interference seriously and taking actions to protect them here on Canadian soil?”
