The Conservative opposition raised broad concerns Tuesday about the Canadian government's reliance on the World Health Organization, questioning the accuracy of its data and its relationship with China during the COVID-19 crisis. "I'm disappointed that World Health Organization officials have declined the invitation from the House of Commons health committee to testify," Scheer said before the meeting. Many concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the World Health Organization's data, the influence that China has on the World Health Organization." Hajdu said Tam and other health officials have testified at length before the Commons health committee and will continue to do so in the future. Canada maintains a "one China" policy that means it has no direct political relationship with Taiwan.
