Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Tuesday the Liberal government’s inaction on alleged election meddling by China has some Canadian voters wondering whether recent election results can be trusted.
Speaking to reporters after a drug-related announcement in B.C., Poilievre said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has “inspired a lot of suspicion” because of his refusal to answer detailed questions about China’s role in the 2019 and 2021 election campaigns.
Poilievre said Chinese interference was known at the highest levels of government but was “kept hidden” until “courageous whistleblowers” leaked national security intelligence to the press.
Now, Poilievre said, Trudeau has refused to call a public inquiry
