British Columbia Premier David Eby says he has met with the regional director of Canada’s spy agency over allegations of Beijing meddling in the 2022 Vancouver municipal election.

Speaking at a press conference on May 8, Eby said he was told that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) could not share information with him as he is not a “direct client” of theirs. Eby said he found this “frustrating” but that the spy agency took a ”constructive approach” to their meeting.
