The RCMP is investigating ‘broad’ Chinese interference in Canadian affairs, Commissioner Brenda Lucki said in a letter to a parliamentary committee studying allegations of Chinese funding of candidates in the 2019 federal election.

However, Lucki said there were no investigations of Chinese meddling in the 2019 election “at the time” as the RCMP lacked evidence.
