The atmosphere has heated up in the case of threats given to Conservative MP of Canada Michael Chong's family living in Hong Kong.
Foreign Minister Melanie Joly has warned that all options are open, including expelling a Chinese diplomat accused of helping to target Chong's family.
Jolly said that Chinese Ambassador Cong Peiwu is being summoned.
Jolly gave this information while attending a parliamentary committee meeting in Ottawa.
The Foreign Minister has made this strong comment following a report in which it was revealed that a Chinese diplomat living in Canada was also involved in targeting Michael Chong's family.
Notably, Chong voted in favor of a censure motion in February 2021 against Beijing's treatment of the Uyghur minority.
The following month, China banned Chong's entry into the country and Chinese citizens were asked to stop doing any business with him.
