NDP MP Jenny Kwan said the Liberals need to take the allegations of interference more seriously. “What has created a vacuum on the details of the information, in my view, is not the media but the prime minister himself,” the Vancouver MP said in an interview.
Kwan, who was born in Hong Kong, said the allegations “go to the heart of our democratic system” and argued that Trudeau and his ministers have given contradictory statements about them. She noted that security officials have briefed Vancouver’s former mayor about possible Chinese influence in last fall’s municipal election.

“The threat is real. Something is happening; we don’t know exactly what,” she said. “If the Liberals persist in hiding this information, they are not helping to clear the air.”
