The Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) say they receive over a hundred calls a day regarding the activities of Chinese Communist Party agents.
According to the Toronto Sun, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki told a meeting of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Canada-China Relations that the RCMP receives an average of 120 tips a day and follows up on every one of them.
Lucki encouraged the public to call 1-800-420-5805 to report any possible pressure or threatening behaviour.
“We found it noteworthy that as the number of reports increased, the percentage of threatening behavior decreased significantly.” Lukey said, “Some of that information people may just feel threatened by, and if it doesn’t reach the threshold of a criminal offense, then we usually can’t do anything about it.”
On Nov. 16, 2020, the federal Immigration Department told the Select Committee on Canada-China Relations that it did not track Chinese Communist Party agents suspected of masquerading as Canadian students, tourists or workers because Immigration did not have the authority to do the investigation.
MPs at the Time cited specific incidents that occurred in 2019, such as McMaster University cancelling the membership of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association in the university’s general assembly after the student organization allegedly obstructed Uyghur activities on campus; in another example, at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, a Tibetan-Canadian was elected student union received death threats after he was elected president.
Conservative MP Michael Chong said, “It is well known that China [the Chinese Communist Party] is conducting covert and subversive activities in Canada.”
On November 9, 2020, Victor Ho, retired editor-in-chief of the Sing Tao Daily, testified before Parliament that Chinese Communist Party agents were “trying to intimidate people” in the Chinese Canadian community. The government needs to take safeguards to ensure that communities are not infiltrated and brainwashed into “accepting the policies of the Chinese Communist Party.
