Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office says public servants have corrected information tabled in the House of Commons that indicated the prime minister did not “proactively” raise the issue of human rights during discussions with Chinese officials in January.

“The parliamentary return in question was submitted in error,” said a spokesperson for Carney’s office.
