From pundits to groups representing the Chinese and Hong Kong diaspora in Canada, many have expressed disappointment over the Conservative Party’s decision not to bring back the committee that probed Canada-China relations in the new Parliament.
The Conservatives say they will not be launching a bid to revive the House of Commons Special Committee on Canada–China Relations (CACN) formed in the last Parliament, according to The Globe and Mail. The committee examined a range of topics and issues related to China, including the Beijing-linked Huawei, Beijing’s influence operations in Canada, and China’s human rights record, among other topics.
