Prime Minister Mark Carney says there are “serious issues” regarding China’s treatment of the Uyghur minority in China, when asked if he believes the persecution amounts to a genocide as declared by a 2021 House of Commons resolution.
The resolution received unanimous support from all parties, including the Liberals, while then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet abstained from voting.
