A group of Canadian MPs and Senators visited Beijing to discuss stronger ties with China, while hearings on foreign interference in Canada's elections were ongoing in Ottawa. The officials chose not to address alleged Chinese state interference during the trip.
A group of three MPs and two Senators met with Chinese government officials in Beijing in late March to push for stronger ties between the two countries, while hearings on foreign interference in Canada ’s elections were underway in Ottawa. The Canadian Parliamentarians opted not to press the Chinese officials about alleged Chinese state interference in Canada ’s 2019 and 2021 elections during the trip, which was initiated by a parliamentary association but planned by the Canadian government.
It’s an issue they’ve got to resolve,” said Massicotte, after noting that foreign interference was currently under review in Ottawa. He also said that, “We did talk to them about some of the issues, but quickly we learned we’re not getting anywhere.” Massicotte said that foreign interference by China “was not a hot issue when we were there” between March 25 and 29.
