Following a recent media report that Katie Telford, chief of staff of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, had in 2017 requested a briefing be produced on Beijing’s foreign interference, Liberal and NDP MPs voted on Feb. 9 against a Conservative Party motion to have Telford testify before committee and obtain relevant documents.
“In order to get to the bottom of the memo, and what the prime minister knew, and wherever he failed to act, it’s important that we hear from Katie Telford,” Conservative MP Michael Cooper said after his motion was passed with a major amendment removing Telford from having to testify.
