RCMP and Canadian military intelligence veteran Scott McGregor says Ottawa’s new “strategic partnership” with Beijing undermines more than a decade of efforts by Canada’s intelligence and security community to raise awareness about the risks posed by the Chinese Communist Party.

McGregor, who served for 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces and later worked as an intelligence adviser to the RCMP, said the federal government’s shift in its approach to China came as a “shock” and has been disheartening for those who have spent years warning policymakers about Beijing’s influence and security threats.
