Opposition MPs may be involved in foreign interference: Trudeau
The Straits Times
|October 18, 2024
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Oct 16 that some members of the official Conservative Party could be involved in foreign interference, and alleged the party was not taking the matter seriously.
-
Mr Trudeau made his remarks to an independent commission probing foreign interference in Canadian politics. Polls show the Conservatives would easily beat Mr Trudeau's Liberals in the next election, which must be held by end-October 2025.
The probe has already heard evidence that China and other nations tried to meddle in Canadian politics. Beijing consistently denies this is the case.
