Conservative MP Michael Cooper is demanding the resumption of a House of Commons committee probing foreign interference by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) following revelations of its latest targeting of Tory MP Michael Chong.

Mr. Cooper’s call for the continued probe by the Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) into foreign interference came after Global Affairs Canada published a statement on Aug. 9 saying it had detected a new “information operation” wave against Mr. Chong between May 4 and May 13.
