Canada's chief public health officer is reacting to accusations from a Conservative leadership candidate that she is working for China's Communist party, and not Canada, in the fight against COVID-19.

Dr. Theresa Tam says she has but one focus during her very long work days.

Conservative leadership candidate Derek Sloan says Tam should be fired.

He also accuses her of working for China's Communist party, and not Canada, in the fight against COVID-19.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggests Sloan's comments were racist and must be denounced.
