     On Tuesday and in front of a committee studying foreign interference the federal government’s envoy to the People’s Republic of China,
David Mulroney, who was IN CHINA (PRC) between 2009 and 2012, told MPs sitting that China is the “primary threat” against Canada.
The federal government must be prepared to expel Chinese diplomats if it is proved that china is involved in interference or harassment, Canada’s former ambassador to China says.

As a result, politicians should implement a series of measures to shore up the country’s protections against foreign meddling, including action up to diplomatic expulsions, he said.

“We must be prepared to expel Chinese diplomats involved in interference or harassment. Our failure to do so only encourages increasingly brazen meddling,” Mulroney told MPs.

Mulroney suggested that aside from the possibility of diplomatic expulsion, the federal government should consider three other measures, one of them being identifying China as the main threat of foreign interference in Canada

It seems relation between china and Canada aren't in the best manner recently as Canadian intelligence officials have warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that China has allegedly been targeting Canada with a vast campaign of foreign interference, according to Global News sources.

On another side, the PM of Canada 'Trudeau spokes about the bringing up alleged interference with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 in Bali, Indonesia, late last year. Xi later confronted Trudeau about how it was “not appropriate” that details of those conversations had been shared with news organizations.
