Elections Commissioner Caroline Simard’s Annual Update to Parliament on Sept. 12 was conspicuously absent of any mention of China despite the report’s mandate to update on investigations of alleged election fraud by foreign agents in Canada.

Prior to the expulsion of a Chinese spy on May 8, Ms. Simard had rejected 116 complaints of alleged interference and 58 were still under review, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
