This is the best summary I could come up with:
Earlier this week, the Chinese Family Services of Greater Montreal, the Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud and their executive director, Xixi Li, filed a defamation lawsuit accusing the RCMP of not properly investigating before publicly accusing them of hosting illegal police stations on behalf of the People’s Republic of China.
The centres have been accused of acting as hubs to harass and intimidate members of the Chinese community in Canada — allegations the groups deny.
“It’s not the first time that we’re sued because we’re investigating,” RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme told Radio-Canada’s Les coulisses du pouvoir.
Last year, the RCMP said it was investigating “alleged Chinese police stations in Quebec” and told journalists the two community centres were part of their probe.
Li, who is a Brossard city councillor, and the Centre Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud are also suing the municipality’s mayor, Doreen Assaad, over some of her Facebook posts issued after the RCMP’s allegations were made public.
The RCMP’s investigation is linked to a larger debate over allegations that China interfered in the past two federal elections and is stealing Canadian research and intellectual property.
