Mr. Chair, this is obviously quite frustrating. Ms. Chen has been called in front of this committee. The allegations are incredibly serious: that she took $10 million for her company from Russian agents and withheld the source of that funding from the commentators she hired for Tenet Media, with the purpose of proliferating Russian propaganda. As we know very well on this committee, Russia is an adversary to Canada that is looking to deliberately undermine this country and to see Canada weaken and fail.
I take great personal and moral issue with the idea that a fellow Canadian, Ms. Chen, would take large amounts of money to undermine the Canadian interest. Do you?
