According to a recent testimony from three Canadian Security Intelligence Services sources, International Trade Minister Mary Ng was a person of interest among 11 candidates who allegedly received CCP support.
(LifeSiteNews) — One of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top ministers was called out as having allegedly received support from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the 2019 Canadian federal election.
According to a report from The Bureau, Liberal cabinet minister Mary Ng in 2019, as per recent testimony from three Canadian Security Intelligence Services sources, was a person of interest among 11 candidates who allegedly received CCP support.
Ng, Canada’s International Trade Minister, was hand-picked by Trudeau for the role. However, according to The Bureau, she was identified in investigations as allegedly being backed by the CCP.
Through its “United Front,” the CCP was known to secretly fund candidates. The “United Front” is a political strategy aiming to network key people and groups to serve and promote CCP interests abroad.
“Besides funding, the UFWD is also likely to offer candidates logistical support, favourable media coverage, and endorsements,” a February 2020 Privy Council document noted.
The whistleblowers have not been identified due to security concerns as well as ongoing investigations.
The report also alleges that there were secret recordings between Liberal Senator Yuen Pau Woo, who allegedly promised to shield people from the investigation who were propped up by the CCP’s “United Front.”
Woo said on one of the secret tapes, which was posted by The Bureau, “I’m very worried that the mainstream in Canada, including a lot of my friends, political leaders, and business leaders and media leaders, are falling into a very dangerous trend, what I call a litmus test.”
“For example, your views in Hong Kong, your views on Tibet, your views on Uyghurs, your views on South China Sea, whether you belong to an organization that is officially part of the United Front. You know, many organizations are listed as part of a United Front list of organizations,” he said.
Woo also said that “whether you belong to an organization that happens to be listed as a United Front organization should not be a litmus test.”
