Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre told MPs in the House today that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should’ve called for an official investigation into allegations that China interfered in Canada’s 2019 election as soon as he was briefed on the matter in January.

“Ten months ago, CSIS informed the prime minister of allegations that a foreign government had interfered in our elections with illegal financing,” Poilievre said during question period on Nov. 17.
