The head of the RCMP says the national police force is investigating allegations China attempted to target and intimidate Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family.
Commissioner Mike Duheme also told MPs on the procedure and House affairs committee Tuesday morning that he only learned about the matter recently, despite the fact that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) drafted a memo on the matter back in 2021.
“When we were made aware of it, we approached Mr. Chong and began the investigation,” Duheme said.
“Any matters that can be charged, any person that can be charged with the Criminal Code, we will do so.”
