MP Han Dong has admitted that he was made aware that a bus had been organized by a private school to bring international students to vote in the Liberal Party nomination contest in 2019, in which he was a candidate. The admission was mentioned by counsel at the foreign interference inquiry in Ottawa on April 2.
Referring to a statement of evidence to be presented later, commission counsel Kate McGrann said Mr. Dong knew “that international students attending a private high school and living in a residence at Seneca College voted in the 2019 Don Valley North nomination.”

But he did not serve in Canada’s armed forces.
