It is now established that there was a co-ordinated effort by the Chinese government to influence the last federal election in September 2021. CSIS determined that China wanted to see Prime Minister Trudeau win a minority government. However, CSIS director said that there is no evidence that Chinese manipulation resulted in the election of any MP.
The interference was more than just putting out information meant to mislead or persuade. We are being told that there have been violations of election laws. Some candidates received unlawful cash donations. As well, companies hired international students to volunteer full-time for candidates during the campaign. Allegedly, some campaign contributions were returned after the tax credit was already claimed.
Prime Minister Trudeau claims that it was clear to all that China's government does interfere in elections. Apparently, Canada is not the only country where China sought to influence the outcome of an election. However, our Prime Minister states that since the ballots were not tampered with, the outcome of the election was not affected.
National security officials reported to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office more than a year before the 2019 federal election, warning that Chinese operatives were “assisting Canadian candidates running for political offices.”
In light of the newly released CSIS documents, a parliamentary committee which has been studying foreign election interference since last November voted unanimously this week to expand their inquiry. A request was made for the CSIS documents with no redaction. However, the NDP voted with the Liberals to allow committee to only see redacted copies of the documents.
