“I am calling for a fully independent and non-partisan public inquiry to shine a light into alleged Chinese interference.”
As pressure continues to mount on the Liberals to call a public inquiry into allegations the Chinese Communist Party interfered in Canada’s democratic institutions, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has joined those calling for a deeper investigation.
In a statement, Singh called for a “fully independent and non-partisan” inquiry:
When Canadians learn about possible foreign interference through leaked documents, confidence in our democracy is put at risk.
I am calling for a fully independent and non-partisan public inquiry to shine a light into alleged Chinese interference.

Singh’s statement leaves Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even more isolated in his ongoing resistance to a public inquiry.
