Liberal and Conservative parliamentarians are calling on a government committee to probe the targeting of MPs by Chinese hackers, saying their privilege has been breached.

Conservative MP Garnett Genuis asked House Speaker Greg Fergus on April 29 to recognize the breach and allow the tabling of a motion to refer the matter to committee for study.
