Thank you.
Page 17 of the NSICOP report goes on to state that the SITE task force observed during the 2021 election a coordinated campaign “aimed at discouraging Canadians, particularly of Chinese heritage, from supporting the Conservative Party”. It states, “Specifically, different Chinese-language media outlets in Canada adopted the language of a PRC state media article, without specifically attributing it. Most of these media outlets were linked to the PRC via partnership agreements with the China News Service, the Chinese Communist Party’s primary media entity”.
Had a foreign influence registry been in place at the time, those media outlets would have had to publicly register in light of their partnership agreements with the PRC. Is that correct?
