A Montreal-based group that has appeared to give support to the alleged Chinese spy working at Hydro-Québec shows the need for a foreign influence registry, says Sen. Leo Housakos.

On Nov. 15, Yuesheng Wang made his first court appearance after being arrested by the RCMP a day earlier for allegedly sending trade secrets to China. The national police service said his alleged action was “to the detriment of Canada’s economic interests,” according to a Nov. 14 RCMP news release.
