A Chinese-Canadian member of parliament at the centre of a foreign interference controversy has decided to drop out ahead of high-stakes national elections this month, after his former party chose not to nominate him. Han Dong, previously an MP for the governing Liberal Party, resigned from the party in 2023 after a news report alleged that he advised the Chinese consulate in Toronto in 2021 to delay the release of two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, then being held in China.
