Uyghur Muslims

Bill Blair is blaming Canadian Security Intelligence Service director David Vigneault for the fact that he didn't receive a memo warning about the alleged targeting of Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family by a Chinese diplomat.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says any decision to expel Chinese diplomats over alleged attempts to threaten a Conservative MP is being made "very, very carefully."

The Liberal government is assessing how painful China's retaliation would be if Canada decides to expel a diplomat accused of targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong.

Canada's intelligence agencies must immediately inform MPs of any threats against them, regardless of whether those threats are considered credible, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole reversed his predecessor's position on foreign aid spending on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, saying that if elected, a Conservative government wouldn't cut that budget.

Last June, 33 Canadian senators voted to defeat a motion decrying China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims as a genocide.
