Tories are calling on the federal government to release unredacted documents concerning the removal of two Chinese scientists from Canada’s highest-security laboratory and the transfer of deadly viruses to China’s Wuhan laboratory.

Conservative Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs Michael Chong submitted an opposition day motion Tuesday, urging the House of Commons to “put its full weight” to pressure the liberal government to release the unredacted documents on national security grounds.
