“China interfered in our elections, but the government is still talking with them about national defence. A report says over 2,400 foreign agents are working here, but only 30 have registered. Who is protecting our democracy while the Prime Minister travels abroad?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is travelling around the world. He is going to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and China. In 2025, China was recognized as a threat to national security because it interfered in our elections. Today, the government is discussing national defence with the Chinese government. Meanwhile, the foreign influence transparency commissioner reports that there are 2,422 foreign influence agents here in Canada. How many of them have registered? Only 30. Can the Prime Minister tell us who is taking care of defending and protecting the integrity of Canada’s democracy while he is off travelling the globe?”
