Amid new allegations of Chinese political interference in Canada, ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with national security expert Akshay Singh, former Canadian ambassador to China David Mulroney, and Global News investigative reporter Sam Cooper about the need for Ottawa to take action against this national security threat. Plus, Stephenson speaks with Minister of Veterans Affairs Lawrence MacAulay about the calls for his resignation and his failed promises to meet national standards.

Shocking reports of alleged Chinese interference in Canada’s 2019 elections, first reported by Global News, have raised questions about whether Ottawa is doing enough to deal with threats from Beijing. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with national security expert Akshay Singh, former Canadian ambassador to China David Mulroney, and Global News investigative reporter Sam Cooper about the bombshell revelations and the Liberal government’s underwhelming response.

In January, Prime Minister Trudeau and select members of his cabinet allegedly received a series of stunning briefings that included allegations of everything from interference in the 2019 election, to concerns about the intimidation of Chinese-Canadian communities and coerced extraditions to China using so-called Chinese police stations on Canadian soil.

And as calls for his resignation grow, Minister of Veterans Affairs Lawrence MacAulay says improvements are on the horizon for 2023. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with Minister MacAulay about the long wait times for veteran disability claims to be assessed – a far cry from the national standard of 16 weeks – and the investigation into a VAC employees’ repeated offer of medically assisted death to a veteran, first reported by Global News.
