Conservative MPs want an investigation into allegations that China used an elaborate strategy to enable the return of a minority Liberal government in the 2021 federal election.

A Globe and Mail article published Feb. 17 cites secret documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) showing how China executed a sophisticated strategy to achieve two goals: ensure the Liberals were returned to office, but only with another minority government to keep their power in check, and the defeat of certain Conservative candidates that Beijing deemed unfriendly to China.
