This investigation is still ongoing.
The Center Sino-Québec de la Rive-Sud and its director Xixi Li — who also acts as a municipal councilor in Brossard and as director of Chinese Family Services of Greater Montreal — are also suing the mayor of the municipality, Doreen Assaad, for some of her interventions on Facebook published after the RCMP's allegations were made public. Ms. Li is seeking $49,000 and the organization is seeking $19,000 for damage to their reputation.
