Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino has stated that the RCMP will take action against any new undercover Chinese police service stations that appear in Canada. This comes after Mendicino previously announced that all covert police stations in Canada had been shut down. However, two Montreal-based community groups that were being investigated for hosting secret Chinese police stations have said that they are still operating normally. Mendicino explained that the inconsistency in his previous comments was due to the RCMP’s operational independence from the government, but he assures that they will continue to disrupt any foreign interference in relation to these police stations. All opposition parties have voted in favor of shutting down all unofficial Chinese police stations in Canada.
