The Conservatives’ public safety critic pressed the minister of public safety to allow parliamentarians to review an agreement with Beijing on law enforcement cooperation and intelligence sharing, saying the issue requires further scrutiny.

The demand, made at a parliamentary committee meeting on March 24, was a follow-up from an initial letter Tory MP Frank Caputo wrote to Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree in early February, requesting the agreement be shared with the public or be reviewed by MPs.
