A federal inquiry into foreign interference is set to hear from the Independent MP at the centre of allegations about foreign meddling in Canadian elections.
Han Dong left the Liberal caucus after it was alleged he willingly participated in Chinese interference efforts and won his seat with Beijing’s help in 2019 — claims he denies.
Dong is slated to testify Tuesday afternoon, as is former Ontario cabinet minister Michael Chan, who is now the deputy mayor of Markham, Ont. The inquiry will hear from Walied Soliman, the Conservative campaign co-chair in the 2021 election, as well as Azam Ishmael, who ran the Liberal campaign that year, and the NDP’s national director Anne McGrath.Later in the afternoon, the inquiry is set to hear from Chan, followed by Dong’s former chief of staff Ted Lojko and then Dong himself.The hearings are part of the inquiry’s work examining possible foreign interference by China, India, Russia and others in the last two general elections.
