The National Microbiology Labora- tory researchers were fired in early 2021 after their security clearances were revoked over questions about their loyalty and the potential for co- ercion by China. Records tabled in Parliament late last month say the scientists, Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, played down their collaborations with Chinese government agencies. The RCMP said Wednesday a na- tional security investigation into the matter, which began in May 2019, re- mains underway. The Mounties started the probe following a referral from the Public Health Agency of Canada. The Globe and Mail reported Wed- nesday the two scientists have been using pseudonyms as they build a new life in China. Holland said he was “deeply dis- turbed” by the scientists’ behaviour. “They’re under an investigation, and rightfully so,” he said. “That investigation is ongoing. It would be inappropriate for me to com- ment on the nature of that investiga- tion. But I would say that it’s extreme- ly appropriate that the investigations are occurring.” The documents presented to Parlia- ment show the Canadian Security In- telligence Service concluded that Qiu repeatedly lied about the extent of her work with institutions of the Chinese government. The records also say she refused to admit involvement in various Chinese programs even when evidence was presented to her. CSIS found that Qiu provided at least two employees of Chinese government institutions access to the microbiology laboratory and consistently said she had very limited knowledge of these institutions’ mandates, “despite an abundance of evidence that she was actually working with or for them.” Upon release of the records, the Public Health Agency said it had taken steps to bolster research secur- ity in response to the episode. The microbiology laboratory has a “renewed, proactive security posture” that has reinforced the physical secur- ity of the building, the health agency said. “Screening measures are strictly enforced for all staff and external visitors, including the requirement for visitors to be accompanied at all times and without exception.” The Public Health Agency needs to provide a fuller explanation of exactly what it has done, said Wesley Wark, a senior fellow with the Centre for Inter- national Governance Innovation. Wark, a national security expert who has closely followed the issue, said the agency must be able to demonstrate concretely how it has changed the lab’s practices with regard to security training, data protection and informa- tion technology. “From my perspective, there’s two things that we need to know,” Wark said. “One is the details of the changes. The other is, was there a review con- ducted in order to make those chan- ges, to make sure that they were going to be adequate?” A spokesman for the Public Health Agency did not have immediate an- swers Wednesday to questions about the security changes. — The Canadian Press Minister warns of consequences for asylum-seekers O TTAWA — A parliamentary mo- tion on the Israel-Hamas war the House of Commons passed Mon- day could make it harder for people seeking asylum in Canada to get out of Gaza, Immigration Minister Marc Mil- ler said Wednesday. He said it could make the situation worse for a Canadian program that has already been, in his words, a “failure.” The motion, initially brought forward by the New Democrats, was dramatic- ally amended by the Liberals with NDP consent shortly before a late-night vote on Parliament Hill. The amended version of the motion, which had been altered to reflect the 14 separate changes proposed by the Lib- erals, was fair and principled, Miller said. The final version eliminated a stan- dalone call to recognize Palestinian statehood and instead saw MPs support progress toward a peace process and a two-state solution, in keeping with ex- isting Canadian policy. But Miller said the motion has upset Israel’s government and is likely to have consequences. Israel’s foreign minister said Tues- day that measures outlined in the mo- tion, including the suspension of arms exports to Israel, would undermine his country’s ability to defend itself — and that history would judge Canada harsh- ly. The government always knew the program to offer asylum to extended family members of Canadians who are in the Gaza Strip could fail, Miller ac- knowledged. It was designed to offer as many as 1,000 temporary visas to people in the Gaza Strip with extended family in Canada, but the minister warned from the outset that getting people out through the tightly controlled Rafah border crossing would be a challenge. Canada provided a list of more than 300 names of people who applied for the visa to Egyptian and Israeli border officials, but none of those people have made it across as a result of Canada’s efforts. Only 14 people have received a visa after making it across the border by other means. The motion could have consequences for others who are waiting, Miller said. “The adoption of that motion doesn’t help getting people out,” he said, not- ing the Israeli government has made it clear that it is watching what Canada does. “Any actions that are seen as to be unfavourable can affect their deci- sion-making at the highest political level,” Miller said. “And so we can’t be naive as a coun- try as to the actions that we take and the impact that can have on the ground and for actual people’s lives.” Israel’s ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, did not quell those concerns when asked about Miller’s comments Wednesday. “I just can’t say anything about it at the moment,” he said in an interview. NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan called the minister’s comments “outra- geous.” “Not one person has made it to Can- ada in safety,” Kwan said. “And now he wants to blame the NDP, for standing up for human rights, for standing up for international law and the rule of law?” Miller said he was not saying that the motion was “a bad thing to adopt,” adding it represented a “principled pos- ition” as amended. “But the actions of the government of Canada (have) consequences. And on the particular impact of that program, I don’t think that motion is necessarily a good thing.” Kwan led calls for a special immi- gration program to bring the extended family members of Canadians out of Gaza to safety in Canada, and has been a vocal critic of how the program has since unfolded. She has called on the minister to lift the 1,000-visa cap, which he has pledged to do, and process applications more quickly to get people to safety. Some people have made it out of Gaza at great cost, without Canada’s help, and have completed their biometric screening — only to find themselves stuck in Egypt awaiting a Canadian visa, Kwan said. “He cannot point the finger at anyone else but himself for that failure,” Kwan said. Miller was grilled about the program by the House of Commons immigration committee, where he repeated con- cerns about Canada’s inability to help people get out of Gaza. During a break in the meeting, 20 people with family in Gaza gathered around the minister to tearfully share their frustration with the program and their fear for their loved ones. He told the committee that the pro- gram cannot be called a success. “It doesn’t mean that we should stop trying,” he said. — The Canadian Press LAURA OSMAN Motion might make situation worse for those hoping to reach Canada from Gaza: Miller SPENCER COLBY / THE CANADIAN PRESS Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the motion is likely to have consequences. U.K. watchdog assessing potential breach of Princess of Wales’ medical records LONDON — Another day, another drama surrounding Catherine, Prin- cess of Wales, as questions about her whereabouts surge around the world. Britain’s privacy and data protection watchdog, the Information Commis- sioner’s Office, told The Washington Post on Wednesday it was assessing a potential breach of Catherine’s medic- al records during her stay at a private London hospital. The princess checked in to the Lon- don Clinic for “planned abdominal surgery,” according to Kensington Palace, the official London residence of Prince William and Catherine. She spent almost two weeks at the hospital in January. Catherine is now recovering at her home in Windsor, the palace said, as questions about her health per- sist. Those doubts have generated a massive public frenzy, even though the palace said at the time that she was “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.” The issue has made global headlines, while the question “Where is Kate?” has trended consistently on social media, spawning a plethora of conspiracy theories about her health. The exclusive London Clinic, which has also treated the King as well as a number of prime ministers and celeb- rities, has initiated an internal investi- gation, according to the Mirror, a Brit- ish tabloid, which first reported the story. The paper reported that at least one clinic staffer attempted to access Catherine’s medical records in breach of confidentiality. “Everyone at The London Clinic is acutely aware of our individual, pro- fessional, ethical and legal duties with regards to patient confidentiality,” London Clinic CEO Al Russell said in a statement Wednesday in response to the story. “We have systems in place to mon- itor management of patient informa- tion and, in the case of any breach, all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken,” Russell added. “There is no place at our hospital for those who intention- ally breach the trust of any of our pa- tients or colleagues.” Kensington Palace also declined to comment, saying that it is a matter for the London Clinic. — The Washington Post ADELA SULIMAN ;
