Calls for Canada to launch a public inquiry into foreign interference have increased after a former RCMP officer was accused of providing intelligence and services to China.
William Majcher, a veteran Mountie with 22 years of service, was accused of using “his knowledge and his extensive network of contacts in Canada to obtain intelligence or services to benefit the People’s Republic of China,” the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams (INSET) unit said in a statement on July 21.
