As MPs head to Taiwan, other MPs consider state of Canada-China Legislative Association

The Canada-China Legislative Association, a diplomatic forum for Chinese and Canadian parliamentarians to discuss bilateral and multilateral challenges, was established in 1998. But the last time the Canadian delegation went to China was in 2019.

Liberal MP Ken Hardie, left, NDP MP Heather MacPherson, Liberal MP John McKay, Bloc Québécois MP Stéphane Bergeron, and Conservative MP Michael Chong will go to Taiwan this week, invited by the Taiwanese government. All are members of the House Special Committee on the Canada–People’s Republic of China Relationship. The Hill Times photographs by Andrew Meade and Wikimedia Commons
