Health Minister Patty Hajdu refused to answer why a Chinese military scientist was given access to work at Canada’s highest-security infectious-disease lab during Question Period at the House of Commons Tuesday.
“How on earth did a Chinese military scientist get access to the government’s lab in Winnipeg, a level 4 facility equipped to handle the world’s deadliest viruses, and why are Canadian government scientists collaborating with China’s military scientists on deadly viruses?” Conservative MP Michael Chong asked Hajdu, referring to the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML).
