Global obtained unredacted copies of the two memos showing CCP was disbursing money to back specific candidates in the 2019 and 2020 elections. The memos were apparently leaked by an intelligence official and stamped and finalized by the privy council, indicating the most senior PMO aides would have read it at the very least. Also, the warnings to government came two months before the 2019 elections.

Global News also learned of an earlier, high-level warning about clandestine funding of China’s “preferred candidates” that came from a bipartisan panel of parliamentarians two months before the 2019 election.
The information came from Canada’s National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, which reviews national security matters and promotes “government-wide accountability.”
The group allegedly involved at least 11 candidates and 13 or more aides. Sources also said an Ontario MPP played a role and that the group included Liberals and Conservatives who were both witting and unwitting participants.
