A House of Commons committee has passed a motion to launch a study of the federal government research grants, funds, and contributions by Canadian universities and research institutions in partnership with entities connected to the Chinese communist regime.

The motion, introduced by Conservative MP Dan Mazier, was passed in the House Standing Committee on Science and Research (SRSR) on June 6. It requires the committee to dedicate at least four meetings to study the issue, starting June 20.
