Former Solicitor General of Canada Wayne Easter is calling for a federal public inquiry into Beijing’s interference operations in Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), following a two-year investigation detailing how the Chinese regime exploited immigration loopholes and used elite capture to turn Canada’s smallest province into a front-line for foreign influence.
Easter, who served as the Liberal MP for a P.E.I. riding from 1993 to 2021, urged Ottawa to launch a public inquiry into the matter during an Oct. 8 press conference in Ottawa. Also speaking at the press conference was former national director of the RCMP’s proceeds of crime program Garry Clement, who presented findings from an investigation he conducted with former CSIS intelligence officer Michel Juneau-Katsuya into China’s interference in P.E.I.
