Conservative MP and foreign affairs critic Michael Chong is calling on the Liberal government to ban all federal funding of Canadian research projects that are working in collaboration with the Chinese military.

“For years, the government has supported research with China’s military despite the advice of [the Canadian Security Intelligence Service] against doing so since 2018,” Chong said during question period in the House of Commons on Feb. 6.
