Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 27 addressed questions about whether he could confirm if he was warned about a Liberal Party MP being linked to a Beijing foreign interference network by making points about racism.

Trudeau said during a press conference in Mississauga, Ont., that Chinese-Canadians “should always be welcomed as full Canadians, and encouraged to stand for office to get involved in their communities, and to take on part of the leadership of this country.”
