Conservative MP Michael Chong is calling on the Liberal government to identify the 11 candidates who allegedly received funding from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the 2019 federal election.

“It is clear that Beijing interfered in last year’s 2021 election. Beijing’s ambassador to Canada commented critically and publicly during that election campaign and Beijing spread disinformation through proxies on Chinese-language social media platforms,” Chong said in Parliament on Nov. 14.
