A Conservative senator has questioned Global Affairs about why China has the same risk level rating as Belgium and the UK when it comes to providing travel advice to Canadians.

“There are four risk levels,” said Sen. Michael MacDonald, pointing to the categories of travel advisories issued by the department on its website. “China is included with Belgium and the United Kingdom at level two.”
