Prime Minister Trudeau has denied that he was ever briefed on allegations that the CCP funded candidates in the 2019 election, making his statement on the matter at the Francophonie Summit in Tunisia over the weekend.
"Let me be clear, I do not have any information, nor have I been briefed on any federal candidates receiving any money from China," the Canadian Prime Minister said, broadcaster CBC reports.
The statement comes after a report from earlier this month by Canadian broadcaster Global News which claimed Trudeau had been briefed by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) on attempts by the CCP to influence Canadian politics, including funnelling cash to candidates in the 2019 election.
