WATCH: PM Justin Trudeau and Chinese President Xi Jinping speak on final day of G20 summit

Chinese President Xi Jinping told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today: "Everything we discuss has been leaked to the paper, that's not appropriate. And that's now how the way the conversation was conducted."

This after Trudeau's office told reporters yesterday he had raised "serious concerns" about alleged Chinese activities in Canada, following recent reports of interference in the 2019 federal election campaign.

Trudeau then interrupted to say: "We believe in free and open and frank dialogue and that is what we will continue to have. We will continue to look to work constructively together but there will be things we will disagree on."

Xi concluded with: "Let's create the conditions first."

In the House

Watch question period:

Also in the House of Commons:

  • More debate on the government's implementation bill for the fall economic statement -- and a Conservative amendment to quash the bill because it "brings in new inflationary spending that is not matched by an equivalent saving, and does not cancel planned tax hikes."
  • MPs vote on two private member's bills: S-245 and C-281.
  • Debate begins on a Bloc bill to exclude supply management from future international trade negotiations.
