Conservative MP Michael Chong said that the federal government is trying to cover up the firing of two Chinese scientists from the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, research collaboration with the Chinese military, and the transfer of deadly viruses to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

“I think they’re worried. I think they realize that they have been caught failing to protect national security, failing to protect the safety and security of Canadians,” Chong told Epoch Times’ sister media NTD on June 14.
