Han Dong remains an independent MP after intelligence indicated Chinese officials interfered with the Liberals’ 2019 nomination race in Don Valley North.
The RCMP has questioned David Pretlove, a federal Liberal party staffer who handled finances during the nomination of Han Dong , a Toronto MP was elected as a Liberal but stepped down from Caucus after Global News reported on allegations of foreign interference by China .
Dong resigned from the Liberal caucus on March 22, 2023, and now sits as an independent. He has denied any wrongdoing and is suing Global News’ parent company over its foreign interference coverage.“I didn’t pay attention to busing international students because … I didn’t understand it as an irregularity,” Dong told the foreign interference inquiry earlier this year.
“However, there was very little information available.… At that point the level of Mr. Dong’s engagement with the was unclear.… Mr. Clow stated that, around December 2019, the Whip’s Office put Mr. Dong’s name forward for membership on the China-Canada Committee. Because of the concerns that officials had raised, PMO intervened and Mr. Dong was not appointed.”
“Ms. Telford testified there were back-and-forth discussions with intelligence services at the time, including about the fact that it was not uncommon to have buses of supporters in nomination meetings,” one document reads.
