The United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party is designed to bring people from outside of the Chinese Communist Party into compliance with the goals and agenda of the party, both domestically in China and internationally, including in Canada. There's quite a sophisticated engagement with persons of Chinese origin, who may be menaced by the agents of the Chinese regime operating in Canada, some of whom may be diplomats, and also engagement with key Canadian policy-makers in terms of benefits or implied benefits if they support policies that are more in the interests of China than in the interests of Canada.
I do think that part of what you're saying is that our government has not responded sufficiently to the concerns expressed by the RCMP and CSIS with regard to the activities of agents of the Chinese state engaging in coercive or menacing activities or influence peddling of different types, and that's part of the whole thing. The Chinese government doesn't want that. I believe that we should investigate with much more vigour this matter of agents of the Chinese state operating in Canada and that the existing reports that have apparently been shelved by the government should be brought into implementation, because this is really a matter of protecting our Canadian sovereignty and democracy.
