NDP MP Jenny Kwan revealed during a press conference on May 29 that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) recently told her she has been a target of Beijing for several years.

“While I’m not able to disclose the details of how that foreign interference applied to me specifically for national security reasons, CSIS has confirmed with me that I am being targeted for foreign interference and will continue to be a target,” the MP for Vancouver East told reporters in Ottawa.
