A prime minister does not take the Speaker of the House of Commons to Court!
Those words ought to be yelled from any and all rooftops.

Diane Francis: Canadian Forces have right to know if they got COVID at the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan
This week, lawmakers in the United States called for an investigation into whether the October 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan, China was a COVID-19 super-spreader event and whether officials should have known something was amiss, given that the city seemed unusually empty and was described by some participants as a “ghost town.”
Speaker wants information on fired scientists released, prepares to challenge Liberal government in court
Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota intends to take on the Liberal government in a court fight over the disclosure of documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s highest-security laboratory.
The Speaker’s office says the Speaker’s legal counsel has advised the attorney general that Rota — who is named as the respondent on behalf of the House of Commons in the Liberal government’s court application — will challenge the court’s jurisdiction on the basis of parliamentary privilege, unless the government drops its application to block the disclosure of the documents.
I wonder what our Quisling China Class has to hide?
Canada’s China Class At Work: Agency head on hot seat over lab scientists’ firing has history with China ties and controversies
It’s been a tough few weeks for Iain Stewart.
As the federal government’s point man in a heated political fight, he faces parliamentary sanction for refusing to tell MPs exactly why two scientists with links to China were fired from the National Microbiology Laboratory.
This is the stuff Eisenhower warned about.
Tensions flare as top federal health official runs cover for Communist Chinese spies and refuses to turn over documents
Tensions flare as top federal health official scolded in the House for failing to turn over documents
OTTAWA — The president of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) was publicly admonished in the House of Commons on Monday for failing to turn over unredacted documents demanded by MPs related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s highest security lab.
In an extraordinarily rare procedural move, PHAC president Iain Stewart was escorted to the bar in the House of Commons chamber where he was reprimanded by House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota, which sparked off a series of tense exchanges between the government and opposition.

PHAC president covering for Communist Chinese Spies will be spoken to in a stern but positive and self-esteem reinforcing manner
PHAC president called to House to face admonishment and produce unredacted documents
PHAC president Iain Stewart has been summoned to show up at the bar in the House of Commons chamber to be personally admonished by the speaker over failing to turnover unredacted documents explaining why scientists Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were escorted out of Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Laboratory in July 2019 and then later fired by the body. Stewart has been ordered to produce the unredacted documents on Monday, but it remains to be seen whether he will.
Anti-China sentiment is becoming anti-Chinese prejudice in Canada say a couple of ChiCom Fifth Columnist Quisling Turncoat Slave State Apologists
Anti-China sentiment is becoming anti-Chinese prejudice in Canada
Paul Evans is HSBC Chair in Asian Research at the University of British Columbia. Yuen Pau Woo is a senator for British Columbia.
Emotions about China are raw in Canada, with no sign that the diplomatic crisis stemming from the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and detention in China of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor will end anytime soon.
Ottawa is wrestling with how to respond to a more assertive and repressive China as it reformulates the engagement policy that has been Canada’s approach for 50 years. It is doing so in an environment when the public discussion is becoming toxic.
Two facts stand out: Anti-China sentiment is rising across the country, and so is anti-Asian hate. How are the two connected?

PHAC head doubles down, withholds docs on suspected communist Chinese spies fired from Winnipeg germ lab
The head of the Public Health Agency of Canada is showing no sign he’s willing to release unredacted documents about the firing of two scientists at the country’s highest security laboratory — despite the prospect of being publicly shamed in the House of Commons for his refusal to produce the information.
PHAC president Iain Stewart told the Commons health committee Friday that he is bound by law to protect national security and privacy rights.
And he said nothing in a House order demanding that he produce the documents relieves him of that obligation.
Protecting the privacy rights of suspected Communist Chinese spies? I suspect he’s protecting the misdeeds of our China class.
Imagine if it turns out Canada made a significant contribution to the development of the China plague.
Conservatives threaten to boycott intelligence body established by Trudeau amid concerns over Winnipeg lab breach
OTTAWA — The Conservatives on Thursday threatened to boycott a key intelligence oversight body, marking a sharp escalation in political pressure over the government’s withholding of documents that might explain why two scientists were fired from a high-security infectious disease lab earlier this year.
Government defying order to produce documents on fired scientists from high security lab: Speaker
OTTAWA — Conservatives want to invoke a rarely used procedure to publicly rebuke the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada over his refusal to produce unredacted documents related to the firing of two scientists from Canada’s highest security laboratory.
Conservative House leader Gerard Deltell moved a motion Wednesday calling for PHAC to be found in contempt of Parliament and its president, Iain Stewart, to be summoned before the bar of the House to be admonished by the Speaker.
The CBC headline on the same matter is designed to obfuscate on behalf of the LPC – Conservatives look to use rarely-invoked tactic to rebuke head of Canada’s public health agency.
Hajdu says handing over Winnipeg lab documents has ‘national security’ implications … in other words another Liberal Party scandal
Documents related to the firing of two scientists from the high-security laboratory in Winnipeg, and the transfer of viruses to a research facility in Wuhan are too sensitive to hand over to the special committee on Canada-China relations, Health Minister Patty Hajdu said Monday.
“In this particular case, the information requested has both privacy and national security implications,” Hajdu said. “Compliance with the order without proper safeguards in place would put sensitive information at the risk of public release.”

Watchdog raises concern about Canadian pension investments in Communist China
A watchdog group that monitors the Chinese government is urging more scrutiny of Canadian pension fund investment in Chinese companies, as awareness grows about these firms’ role in helping Beijing violate human rights or exploit developing nations.
Hong Kong Watch, a U.K.-based group whose patrons include Chris Patten, the last governor of the former British territory, points out in a new report that global financial ties are deepening with China even as diplomatic, trade and security tensions grow.
The fine folks of our China class are evil.
‘Wake-up call for Canada’: Security experts say case of 2 fired scientists could point to espionage
China says its scientific co-operation with Canada should not be politicized, responding to questions about two scientists fired from Canada’s only Level 4 lab — a case that has led to an RCMP investigation, demands for details in Parliament and concerns about Chinese espionage.
Very few people know why Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her biologist husband, Keding Cheng, were marched out of the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab (NML) two years ago and stripped of their security clearance. They were officially fired last January.
However, two national security experts believe the case of the scientists raise the possibility of Chinese espionage.
Whereabouts of two scientists fired from Winnipeg virus lab for possible national-security issues shrouded in mystery
The whereabouts of two scientists at the centre of a parliamentary showdown over alleged national-security breaches at a high-security laboratory remain unknown, as Ottawa’s explanation for their firing has shifted.
Xiangguo Qiu, a former head of a key program at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, and her husband, Keding Cheng, have not publicly commented on why they were fired. Nor have they responded to questions from The Globe and Mail about whether their dismissal was related to the transfer of highly infectious viruses to China’s Wuhan Virology Institute.
The Globe has found that the scientists are no longer living in Winnipeg, and it is unclear if they are still in Canada. The RCMP would not say if they know where the couple are located.

Liberals, Tories take clashing views of China criticism as anti-Asian racism surges
OTTAWA — Liberals and Conservatives have stumbled into a thorny debate over fears that criticism of China can bleed into bigotry, as wariness of the global superpower rises alongside incidents of anti-Asian racism in Canada.
Tory MPs asked Justin Trudeau last week to respond to reports that scientists at a Winnipeg infectious-diseases laboratory had been collaborating with Chinese military researchers.
