David Vigneault, the head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), has confirmed to Conservative MP Michael Chong that members of his family living in Hong Kong were targeted by the Chinese regime in 2021, according to a news report.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in the House of Commons on May 2 that he spoke with Chong that same day about the matter and also made sure that the MP received a briefing from Canada’s “top security officials to ensure that he has all the information he needs.”
