Conservatives Launch Full Parliamentary Investigation Into PRC Scientists Accessing Top-Level Lab

Ottawa, ON – After years of secrecy and cover-ups, Common Sense Conservatives have forced the Trudeau Government to be transparent with Canadians over the national security breaches that occurred at the Winnipeg Microbiology Lab.

Earlier this month, Canadians discovered that the government and military of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were able to penetrate our nation’s maximum-security laboratory which handles the world’s most dangerous viruses and pathogens. Not only was sensitive information and materials transferred to labs run by the regime in Beijing, but government scientists were also secretly collaborating with the PRC’s top military officials in the field of biotechnology, bioweapons and bioterrorism.

Conservatives are determined to ensure that a breach of this magnitude will never happen again. For this reason, Conservatives have launched a full Parliamentary investigation into this security breach, despite Liberal attempts at committee to limit and delay this study. We will also call on the Liberal Minister of Health, the president of Public Health Agency of Canada, as well as officials in the national security and intelligence community to testify at Committee.

Justin Trudeau and his government have utterly failed to protect Canadians from foreign interference. Common Sense Conservatives will get to the bottom of this national security breach and hold this Liberal Government accountable.
