NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has joined a growing number of politicians and former government advisors who are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to initiate a public inquiry into allegations that the Chinese government interfered in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

“We accept the outcome of the election, but the serious allegations that individual candidates may have been impacted by foreign interference deserve a thorough, transparent and independent investigation,” Singh said in a news release on Feb. 27.
