Canada-China Relations committee Thank you for the question. That's exactly why we went there in uniform and in a patrol car. We wanted to be totally visible, and we wanted the community to see that we were taking action against these police stations. We made sure to give people a phone number and an email address so that they could report things like this to the police.

Canada-China Relations committee That's a good question. Obviously in the embassy, they have.... I don't think they have any actual police officers, but they do have people in the ministry. I'd have to double-check on that.

Canada-China Relations committee There haven't been any files recently opened under Fox Hunt, but we have had incidents in the past. Those are all followed up succinctly. Any of the people who would come from China as far as the government goes would be situated in Ottawa only. It's again.... Beyond foreign interference, of course, it's the movement of contraband.

Canada-China Relations committee Thank you for that question. The engagement with the public, obviously, is so important. That's exactly why we brought in that number and the email address. We encourage people to send those in. The way we advertise is through engagement with the community, making sure there are groups of community members we can share that with, and through various non-governmental agencies sharing the information.

Canada-China Relations committee We have resources and translation services when people want to bring forward their concerns in their own home language. It's really important for us as a police agency, when we work with the police of jurisdiction. We have to ensure that we do much engagement to strengthen that trust in the community, because often people are fearful to come forward.
February 6th, 2023Committee meeting
Commr Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee We always have access to various different translation services. We might not have them if they arrive at the police of jurisdiction, but they do everything possible to make it available as soon as possible.

Canada-China Relations committee No, if any of that had happened, then I could speak more about it—if there were any charges laid—but that is not the case.

Canada-China Relations committee We did have two liaison officers in China. We took them out a couple of years ago. We returned one liaison officer back to Beijing, and we work with the ministry of public safety in that country for urgent files of mutual interest, because it's more than just interference. It's a lot of the movement of controlled substances and drugs.

Commr Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee Currently, we're looking at three of the police stations in Toronto and one in Vancouver. Obviously, we're working with our police of jurisdiction, as well as with the Government of Canada national security agencies. We've initiated an investigation, and it's led by the greater Toronto integrated national security enforcement team, INSET.
February 6th, 2023Committee meeting
Commissioner Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee In the initial instances, we did a disruption by going in uniform with marked police cars to speak with the people involved in those police stations or locations, because those locations are a legitimate business in the front.

Commr Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee Normally, they're very lengthy investigations. There's a lot of information coming in that we need to go through. Like I said, I can't get into specific details because it's ongoing.

Commr Brenda Lucki
Public Safety committee That's part of our departmental security policies and procedures, so, if it is found that those policies and procedures were not followed, then, in fact, Mr. Brien will be held to account for that.
October 31st, 2022Committee meeting
Commr Brenda Lucki
Public Safety committee Thanks for asking that clarifying question. In fact, the question was asked if this information was to be included. I thought it was a really great question because I felt that at this point.... This was a huge media event. They had planned it for days and speaking notes were very fluid.
October 31st, 2022Committee meeting
Commr Brenda Lucki
Public Safety committee Yes, that's why it's important to go back to the command triangle and ensure that we don't release information that could compromise an investigation. Giving the number and the general type of firearms used would not have compromised that investigation. Darren Campbell, who was in charge of the command triangle, in fact released that in a Q and A.
