Public Safety
Question period focused on a memorandum of understanding Canada signed with China’s Ministry of Public Security. Conservatives, including Michael Chong and Adam Chambers, said the text of the MOU remains secret and argued that China abused a previous such agreement under Operation Fox Hunt, coercing some 25 Canadians to return to China, and pointed to foreign interference, intellectual property theft, the detention of the two Michaels, and alleged illegal police stations as reasons to release the documents. They also asked whether foreign interference would be raised in upcoming meetings. Liberal minister Anita Anand responded that Canada has signed such MOUs since 2010 on the advice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies and that these have historically not been made public, welcomed the visit of Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi as the first bilateral visit in nearly a decade, and said the government would engage with China on trade, the economy and global security while protecting Canada’s security, sovereignty and values, citing a foreign influence registry among steps taken to protect democracy.Written by AI from the debate.
