The Tory leader wants Canada to pull promised funds to Beijing's multilateral development bank.
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to answer China's ban on Canadian canola shipments by pulling hundreds of millions of dollars Ottawa has committed to Beijing's multilateral development bank.
He also demanded Trudeau take several more-immediate steps, including appointing a new ambassador to China, launching a complaint about the canola dispute with the World Trade Organization and increasing financial support for farmers caught in the crossfire of what has become a broader diplomatic spat between the two countries.Citing unproven concerns about pests, China has rejected Canadian canola-seed shipments in recent months and has suspended the licences of two major Canadian exporters.
China's decision to cut off Canadian canola-seed shipments is widely viewed as an attempt to apply economic pressure on Canada following the December arrest of senior Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver at the behest of the United States.
