OTTAWA – Independent MP Han Dong was suddenly reminded by his wife days before his testimony at the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference that a bus of international students, likely of Chinese descent, had voted in his nomination contest for Don Valley North in 2019.

Dong testified at the public inquiry on Tuesday. His team sent a written submission to the inquiry the day prior, on April 1, six weeks after he was interviewed by the commission’s lawyers.

The Liberal Party rules state that people may vote in nomination contests if they are over the age of 14 and “ordinarily reside in Canada.”{ai:summary}<p>MP Han Dong faces allegations of foreign interference in his nomination contest.
