Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's top aide on Friday refused to say when Trudeau first learned about allegations that China tampered with recent elections, citing security concerns.
Canadian authorities have started several investigations into the allegations of interference in Canada's 2019 and 2021 elections, accusations that Beijing denies.
"These matters are extremely sensitive and the law limits what I can talk about in this public setting," Telford told the committee, at the start of 2-1/2 hours of testimony. Hours before the committee meeting, the government's national security and intelligence adviser released to the committee documents listing formal briefings that Trudeau received.
Trudeau says that China attempted to meddle in the elections, but did not change the outcome. He has pointed to closed-door, bipartisan investigations that found attempted foreign interference was unsuccessful.
