This week's Hub Dialogue roundtable welcomes Ian Brodie, a former chief of staff to prime minister Stephen Harper, to discuss the allegations that China waged an intimidation campaign against the extended family of Conservative MP Michael Chong. Brodie explains how these documents get handled in the PMO and how it's possible to trace where they end up. Ian Brodie is a professor of political science at the University of Calgary and director of studies at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, a foreign policy-based think tank. He previously served as chief of staff to former prime minister Stephen Harper.
