RCMP Confirms It Is ‘Looking Into’ Alleged Foreign Threat Following Liberal Candidate Paul Chiang Comments

Sam Cooper
The confirmation followed a day of escalating pressure on Canadian law enforcement afterĀ The BureauĀ revealed that the UK-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch sent a formal letter to RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, calling for a criminal investigation into Chiangās reported remarks.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed late Monday it is actively reviewing the controversy surrounding Liberal MP Paul Chiangās alleged remarks that appeared to endorse delivering a political rival to a foreign government in exchange for a bounty.
In a statement sent toĀ The Bureau, the RCMP said: āForeign actor interference, including instances of transnational repression, continues to be a pervasive threat in Canada. The RCMP takes all such reports and allegations seriously and ā in close partnership with intelligence, law enforcement and regulatory agencies ā dedicates significant resources to combatting and investigating criminal activity related to foreign interference in Canadaās democratic processes.ā
āThe RCMP is looking into the matter,ā the statement continued, āhowever no specific details can be provided at this time.ā
The confirmation followed a day of escalating pressure on Canadian law enforcement afterĀ The BureauĀ revealed that the UK-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch sent a formal letter to RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, calling for a criminal investigation into Chiangās reported remarks. The comments, made during a January meeting with Chinese-language journalists, suggested that Conservative candidate Joe Tay could be brought to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto to claim a bounty placed on him by the Hong Kong police under Beijingās National Security Law.
The organization alleged the remarks could constitute ācounselling to commit kidnappingā under Canadaās Criminal Code. In their letter, Hong Kong Watch also referenced the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act, which prohibits attempts to coerce or intimidate individuals for the benefit of a foreign state.
While the RCMPās statement did not confirm the launch of a formal investigation, it emphasized that if ācriminal or illegal activities occurring in Canada [are] found to be backed by a foreign state, it is within the RCMPās mandate to investigate this activity.ā
The RCMP said it does not typically disclose information related to ongoing investigations unless charges are laid. Nor will it confirm which individuals may be under protective watch.
Earlier Monday, Tay confirmed that he contacted the RCMP over concerns for his personal safety even before Chiangās comments became public. Chiang, a former police officer and Liberal candidate in MarkhamāUnionville, has apologized for the remarks, calling them a āterrible lapse in judgment.ā
Meanwhile, more than 40 Hong Kong diaspora organizations based in Canada and abroad issued a joint statement condemning Chiangās remarks and calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to remove him as a candidate. Carney told reporters in Toronto that Chiang still has his āconfidence,ā and described the incident as a āteachable moment.ā
The RCMP said its āoverarching priority is the safety and security of the public,ā and encouraged anyone who feels threatened online or in person to report such incidents to their local police. In cases of immediate danger, individuals are urged to call 911.
The statement also pointed to the existence of protective mechanisms for election candidates, including through Elections Canada and the federal government.
