Thank you very much.
Mr. Burton, you wrote an article for the Toronto Star recently, and in it, you say, and I quote:
The propaganda campaign, which includes conspiracy theories promulgated by pro-Beijing Chinese language media in Canada, threatens our democracy. It already cost Canadian MPs of Chinese heritage their seats in the last election, and because we do nothing about it, we can expect more in the next election.
I gather you’re referring to the Chinese-Canadian MPs who lost their seats in the 2021 election. As you know, there is already a whole debate around the 2019 election. The Prime Minister raised the matter with President Xi Jinping, but as it turns out, it wasn’t all that serious.
What is your statement based on? What prompted you to put a fly in the ointment, so to speak? We are already talking about what may have gone on in 2019, and you’re adding to that allegations related to the 2021 election.
