The problem is, what party line, the Liberal Party's or the Communist Party of China's? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7651958\" data-originallang=\"en\">I call upon the government to step up and provide strong investigatory powers through the special rapporteur so that Mr. Johnston can unearth names and evidence of foreign interference in Canada, especially in Vancouver and Toronto during the last two elections. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7651959\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians deserve and demand to know what is going on. They want to see concrete action taken to protect our political and democratic processes and institutions from foreign manipulation. </p>",

Cependant, on peut se demander de quel parti il est question: du Parti lib\u00e9ral ou du Parti communiste chinois?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7651958\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'exhorte le gouvernement \u00e0 intervenir pour conf\u00e9rer d'importants pouvoirs d'enqu\u00eate au rapporteur sp\u00e9cial, M. Johnston, afin qu'il puisse d\u00e9couvrir des noms et des preuves d'ing\u00e9rence \u00e9trang\u00e8re au Canada, surtout \u00e0 Vancouver et \u00e0 Toronto lors des deux derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7651959\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent et exigent de savoir ce qui se passe.
