Recently, CSIS produced a report that showed that MP Michael Chong was the target of possible attacks from China over allegations of genocide in China. He put a motion to the floor and 2021 about the allegations of genocide in China and it took until 2023 for a report to surface that MP Michael Chong and his family could have been targeted by China. As a result of this report, a number of things have actually happened that Canada, in response has ousted Chinese diplomats and in turn in China has expelled Canadian diplomats from Chinese territories. There are several questions to be asked and answered. What took so long for CSIS to produce the report and why are these allegations? What is the outcome of the allegations that are being made and how is the government planning on protecting democracy against those who might try to run interference and disrupt the Canadian government and how the elections work? Is Justin Trudeau doing everything possible to ensure that the Canadian government remains strong? Is he doing everything possible to expel the interference including keeping those countries that will interfere in our how our government runs,
