Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the RCMP will be addressing any “new” undercover Chinese police service stations that show up in Canada—an admission that comes just over two weeks after he said the RCMP had shut down all the covert police stations operating on Canadian soil.

“I am confident that the RCMP have taken concrete action to disrupt any foreign interference in relationship to those so-called police stations, and that if new police stations are popping up and so on that they will continue to take decisive action going forward,” Mendicino said while appearing on CTV’s “Question Period” on May 14.
