0:00

And when you have an MP like that

0:02

dismissing what

0:05

is Noel acknowledged that China does

0:07

this raises more questions about is is

0:10

the prime minister really serious about

0:12

uh human rights in this country.

0:14

>> They finally said it.

0:34

Earlier today, we covered an

0:36

unbelievable committee meeting where

0:38

Michael Ma attacked a witness's

0:40

credibility just because she talked

0:42

about forced labor camps in China that

0:44

had been documented by the UN and

0:47

human's rights organizations around the

0:49

world. When he was called out on it, he

0:52

wanted the conservatives to apologize

0:54

for even bringing it up. Now he is

0:57

facing backlash from all sides, even the

1:00

CBC. And with every interaction, he is

1:03

dropping the equivalent of weaponsgrade

1:06

napal on a bonfire that he started. Now

1:10

Mark Carney is going to be in an

1:12

impossible position as a result.

1:16

Oh my gosh. Let's take a look.

1:20

>> One of the Liberal Party's newest MPs is

1:23

facing backlash over an exchange he had

1:25

today at committee. Michael Ma was

1:27

questioning a witness who is against

1:29

Canada accepting Chinese electric

1:31

vehicles. That witness raised human

1:33

rights violations against weaguers in

1:35

China and Ma questioned the evidence of

1:37

that claim.

1:38

>> You claim about forced labor in Senzhen.

1:41

Have you witnessed this yourself? Have

1:43

you been there ever?

1:45

>> I've been to China many times. Have you

1:47

witnessed since 1979?

1:50

>> Have you witnessed forced that? Just a

1:53

short answer. Have you witnessed forced

1:55

labor in San Jen?

1:57

>> Yes or no?

1:59

>> Um, so did you get that?

2:01

>> I work closely with human rights watch

2:03

where researchers did witness it.

2:05

>> So, thank you.

2:07

Ma's office sent a statement to defend

2:09

his action, saying, "Michael used a

2:11

quick burst of yes or no questions to

2:14

move away from the anti-China EV witness

2:16

and then to give the floor to the

2:18

pro-China EV witness. That was the

2:20

strategy on paper.

2:23

That's not any better.

2:26

If anything, that is a bajillion times

2:29

worse

2:31

because the conservatives called the

2:33

witness that he was questioning and was

2:36

trying to tear apart her credibility.

2:39

So, his office is literally saying that

2:41

the liberals intentionally called a

2:44

pro-China

2:45

EV witness.

2:51

How is this a better answer?

2:54

And I want to know who wrote that answer

2:57

in his office. Oh my goodness.

3:04

I I I

3:07

I'm speechless. I don't know what to

3:10

say. Somebody in his office thought, hm,

3:14

okay, we have to respond. We have some

3:17

time. Yes. Yes. This is going to be the

3:21

best response

3:23

that the Liberals intentionally called a

3:26

pro-China

3:27

person to the committee.

3:34

If anybody is wondering if the liberals

3:37

are pro-China,

3:40

don't you don't have to believe me. You

3:43

don't have to believe Pierre Polyv. You

3:45

don't have to believe any of the

3:46

conservatives. believe the Liberals

3:49

because that's exactly what they said

3:53

from a Liberal MP's office.

3:56

Holy crap. The CBC's Olivia Stfanovich

4:00

caught up with Michael Ma literally on

4:02

Parliament Hill after that statement was

4:04

issued.

4:05

>> You challenge a witness on forced labor

4:06

in China. Do you believe there's forced

4:08

labor in China?

4:10

>> You do? Is that is that a yes, Mr. Bob?

4:13

>> Sorry, I'm late for a meeting. Yes, but

4:15

can you please explain your comments at

4:16

the industry committee?

4:19

>> I have no comment at this time.

4:21

>> The conservatives are making it seem

4:22

like you don't care about forced labor

4:24

in China or you don't believe in it.

4:25

What do you think of that?

4:26

>> Well, they like to uh exaggerate always.

4:30

>> Was it really an exaggeration? Do you

4:32

believe there is forced labor in China?

4:34

>> I believe there are forced laborers all

4:36

over the world.

4:37

>> What about China specifically?

4:39

>> Well, all over the world.

4:40

>> But China specifically?

4:42

>> Yeah. Sorry, I need to write.

4:45

>> Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Michael Ma,

4:50

Mr. Liberal MP Michael Ma. And the thing

4:54

that really hurts them on this is this

4:57

this exchange that they had here. This

5:00

is the exact same thing that the other

5:03

Liberal MPs tried to do in committee

5:05

today because the Conservatives put

5:08

forward a motion after all this went

5:10

down to say, "Okay, can we just as a

5:12

committee try and say that China

5:17

is a committing these human rights

5:20

violations and that the committee can

5:22

condemn this?"

5:24

So, initially the liberals were going to

5:27

and then the conservatives introduced a

5:29

motion to condemn the comments that

5:31

Michael Mah had made to that witness and

5:33

then they said no and then the liberals

5:35

amended that motion to say well we want

5:39

to replace China with global. So they

5:43

did not want to specifically call out

5:45

China

5:48

and this is what we hear Michael Ma

5:50

saying the exact same thing.

5:53

So, this is starting this is starting to

5:56

reveal

5:57

what the actual liberal stance is on

6:00

China, folks. And it's not China's the

6:03

biggest threat to the to the to Canada.

6:05

And it's not China is the biggest threat

6:07

to the world. And it's not no, we're not

6:09

going to remove tariffs from China.

6:11

We're going to be strong on China.

6:16

You tell me what this is.

6:19

Let's hear what the talking heads have

6:21

to say on CBC. Okay, I'm going to start

6:23

with you, Bob, because I know you've

6:24

written a lot about China. You've

6:26

followed this issue. You know what's

6:27

going on in Shinjzhin. You know what the

6:29

past parliaments have said about

6:30

possible genocide in that part of China.

6:33

Seems like Mr. Ma sort of downplaying

6:36

potentially that sort of issue, forced

6:37

labor in that part of the world. What do

6:39

you make of that exchange?

6:40

>> Well, first of all, the witness who uh

6:42

is Margaret McCrae Johnson, who is

6:46

actually a former senior civil servant.

6:49

She's highly respected in this town and

6:52

the question and and when she she knows

6:54

what she's talking about and she's read

6:57

up on uh human rights watch for example

7:00

has talked about aluminum that is used

7:02

in EVs and other products from China

7:05

that are used from forced labor. We have

7:07

laws in this country against forced

7:09

labor. this man seemed to be paring the

7:12

line of the Chinese uh government and um

7:17

we're waiting now for a clarification

7:20

which will be with the prime minister's

7:22

uh office is a gun to his head and I'm

7:24

assuming it's going to be uh well we do

7:27

you know we I don't I didn't mean the

7:30

way it came across um and I suspect we

7:33

will not be hearing very much from

7:35

Michael Maw until the next election

7:38

campaign um But but it's not a joking

7:41

matter either. Um forced labor uh

7:44

particularly amongst weaguers has been

7:46

well documented. Uh the G7 countries

7:49

have acknowledged it. And for a a a city

7:53

member of parliament to somehow suggest

7:55

that this is not serious uh and that um

7:59

the witnesses is making this up uh

8:02

frankly is appalling.

8:04

>> My goodness, we agree with Robert Fefe.

8:07

See, we're not so different after all.

8:11

But he makes some good points like this

8:12

is a highly respected lady. Tanya talked

8:15

about this on our video earlier, which

8:17

you should see it because we go into a

8:19

lot of detail on this and we uncover

8:20

some other skeletons that Mark Carney

8:23

was hiding about China in that. But you

8:26

you look at that and the response that

8:30

she had to Michael Ma wasn't one of

8:32

discomfort.

8:35

It was more

8:36

of being incredulous that she's even

8:39

being asked this. Like you saw her being
