Fadden made headlines in June 2010 by announcing that foreign countries were both performing industrial esponiage against Canada, and trying to influence Canadian politicians. Fadden went on to say that Cabinet Ministers in two Provinces, and several municipal politicians were influenced by a foreign government when making policy decisions.[4]

Several other have criticized Fadden for his remarks, especially since they were in a CBC National interview released just before the G8 and G20 summits in Ontario; the interview was conducted earlier in the year after the CBC approached Fadden to repeat statements he had made in a private (albeit videotaped) speech at the Royal Canadian Military Institute.[5] Although no countries were named the National Post, Globe and Mail, CBC, CTV, and several other Canadian media oulets have speculated that Mr. Fadden is referring to China.[6]
