Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Fadden, we are talking about political influence today.
In 2016, the media reported on Chinese donations to Mr. Trudeau. Gifts were given to Mr. Trudeau, and 45 cheques of $1,500 were sent to his Papineau riding association. Two Chinese individuals also donated $1 million to the University of Montreal and $250,000 to the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation, respectively.
Do you consider this to be some form of political influence, especially since the donations were intended for a prime minister?
