BREAKING: Trudeau once again falls short of saying China is committing genocide against Uyghurs

While the entirety of the Canadian parliament sans the Trudeau Cabinet voted in favour of declaring the situation in Xinjiang against the Turkic minority a genocide, the prime minister again avoided the term, saying that there were "significant concerns."

While saying that reports of human rights abuses were "very credible," Trudeau said that more work needed to be done with allies to get "clear answers" before "holding to account those responsible."

"This is something that is much better done on a multilateral basis, over the past many years, including a couple of occasions directly to Chinese leadership, we have expressed our deep concern for the Uyghurs," said Trudeau.

Trudeau also firmly said that the situation with Canada's two Michaels were arrested in retaliation for Canada's arrest of Huawei tech royalty Meng Wanzhou.
