MPs in the House of Commons today voted in favour of a motion that calls on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to launch a public inquiry into allegations that Beijing interfered in Canada’s past two federal elections.

The non-binding NDP motion, which passed with 172 votes in favour and 149 against, places pressure on the Liberal government from all opposition parties to initiate the public inquiry.
