Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet is calling on the federal Office of the Auditor General to investigate a 2016 Beijing-linked donation sent to the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation, which had said in March that it would return the funds but reportedly never did.

Blanchet posted a letter on Twitter in French on April 13 calling on Auditor General Karen Hogan to use her federal authority to request and investigate documents pertaining to a $200,000 donation sent from a Chinese regime insider to the Trudeau Foundation.
