Markham-Unionville Liberal candidate Paul Chiang says he's stepping aside in the federal election.

Chiang said a political opponent should be turned over to Chinese officials in return for a bounty.

The RCMP confirmed Monday evening they're looking into the matter.

Liberal leader Mark Carney said Chiang ’s comments were offensive and a “terrible lapse of judgment”.

Hong Kong Watch has released a letter it sent to the RCMP calling for an investigation into whether Chiang crossed the line into criminality.

The public inquiry into foreign interference released a final report in January that said transnational repression is “a genuine scourge” that requires government action.

A group of 13 Hong Kong - Canadian organizations condemned Chiang ’s words.
