Parliament heated exchange over foreign election interference allegations

Описание: The "Accountability Gap" in West Block.

Today, February 5, 2026, at the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (PROC), MP Michael Cooper took the gloves off. In a heated exchange, he challenged the Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree, to answer a simple question: Does the Beijing-based communist regime respect the "Rule of Law"?

The result? A masterclass in political redirection. Despite overseeing CSIS and the RCMP, the Minister repeatedly deferred to the unelected Director of CSIS, Daniel Rogers, rather than holding the regime accountable on the record.

In this breakdown:

The refusal to name the "most active perpetrator" of election interference.

Is China a "Rule of Law" state? The Minister’s silence speaks volumes.

Why the government is doubling down on a controversial MOU with Beijing.

A procedural "rookie mistake" from the Minister as the pressure mounts.

As the Carney government navigates new "strategic partnerships" with China, Canadians are left wondering: Is our sovereignty being traded for economic convenience?
