Liberal MP Michael Ma is facing criticism for casting doubt on reports of China’s forced labour practices.
The former Conservative MP, who crossed the floor to the Liberals in December, later apologized for his remarks as he faced backlash from human rights activists and opposition MPs, but didn’t confirm if he believes there is forced labour in China.
