Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland faces questioning by MPs over dealings with a Beijing bank dubbed a Communist Party front. Freeland had promised to suspend work with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank five months ago.

MPs by unanimous vote passed a motion sponsored by Conservative MP Tom Kmiec (Calgary Shepard) asking that the Commons Special Committee on Canada-China Relations examine “Canada’s freeze in government-lead activity with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and that the committee invite the Minister of Finance to appear.” Bank whistleblower Bob Pickard also faces questions.
