PMO's Upcoming Testimony on Foreign Interference – March 21, 2023

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and MPs speak with reporters on Parliament Hill as they convene for the daily question period in the House of Commons. The prime minister is asked about his chief of staff Katie Telford's upcoming testimony at the House procedure committee as part of its study on alleged foreign election interference.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh discusses Telford's agreement to appear before the parliamentary committee, the mandate for the special rapporteur on election interference, and U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Canada this week.

Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer and Quebec political lieutenant Pierre Paul Hus comment following the defeat of their party's motion that called on Telford to testify before the House ethics committee regarding foreign interference.

Han Dong responds to questions about the allegations that the Chinese government played a role in his election as a Liberal MP in 2019.

Gérard Deltell (Conservative), Anthony Housefather (Liberal), NDP MP Charlie Angus, and Rhéal Fortin also comment on Telford's upcoming committee testimony.
