After four years of speculation, the federal government has released documents concerning the high-profile termination of two scientists from Canada's National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg in 2019. The scientists, identified as Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng, were dismissed following an investigation that concluded they provided confidential scientific information to China, posing a credible threat to national security. This incident has raised significant concerns about security breaches at top-level Canadian laboratories, with allegations of the scientists having extensive, undisclosed relationships with Chinese government institutions and intentionally working to benefit China. Reports from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) suggest that the scientists were involved in sending scientific materials beneficial to China, shipping pathogens to Wuhan, and potentially jeopardized public health by sharing sensitive information. They were also accused of hiding Chinese bank accounts and collaborating with Beijing's People's Liberation Army, responsible for bio-weapons and bio-terrorism. The situation has sparked a debate on the Trudeau government's handling of national security, with accusations of a cover-up of Chinese infiltration into Canada's most sensitive virology lab. Conservative MPs have criticized the government's response, alleging a national security lapse and demanding accountability.
