Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says she was “unequivocal” with her Chinese counterpart that Canada will not tolerate foreign interference amid recent reports on Beijing’s alleged election meddling.

“Canada will never tolerate any form of foreign interference in our democracy and internal affairs by China,” Joly said in a March 3 statement that was also posted on her Twitter account.
