CANADA’S grubby globalists under PM Justin Trudeau allowed representatives of the Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army to infiltrate the country’s high-security bio-laboratory in the city of Winnipeg and transfer data and dangerous pathogens to China.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre said Trudeau’s Liberal government allowed a person who is “a very serious and credible danger” and “a realistic and credible threat to Canada’s economic security” to access and compromise the country’s top level lab, which works with some of the world’s most dangerous viruses, such as Ebola.

He said this was based on the Liberal government’s own assessment of the security breach, but which until now has been covered up. Following years of pressure in the parliament, the government has released some 600 pages of intelligence documents which detail why Chinese scientists Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng were fired from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg in 2021.

“This is a massive national security failure by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government, which he fought tooth and nail to cover up, including defying four parliamentary orders and taking the House of Commons Speaker to court. He cannot be trusted to keep our people and our country safe,” a statement from Poilievre said.

“Common sense Conservatives are studying every single page of these explosive documents and will not stop until Canadians know the truth about this unprecedented and terrifying security breach.

“A Pierre Poilievre government will secure our labs and all of our government assets against these sorts of national security breaches and will stand on guard for our country to make sure this never happens again.”

The two Chinese scientists worked in the Level 4 virology facility at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab (NML), which is equipped to deal with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. They helped develop an ebola virus vaccine, which won them official accolades.

The couple was escorted from the facility in July 2019 and stripped of their security clearances, but their dismissals were not announced until January 2021, when they were fired by the Public Health Agency of Canada which refused to say why. This raised the concerns about Chinese espionage and prompted demands in Parliament for more information. They are still in Canada.

The state-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation did its best to tone down the scandal, with one of its senior journalists employing long-winded understatements: “What the documents tell us is certainly interesting and relevant, and will help us fill in a picture that has been frustratingly incomplete for more than three years,” wrote Aaron Wherry.
