Liberal MP Paul Chiang said Canada should send a Conservative candidate to Hong Kong and collect a "bounty" from China .

In comments to Chinese -language media that were released by a pro-democracy group on Friday , Chiang took a swipe at Conservative rival Joe Tay , a former Hong Kong resident.

Hong Kong police have placed a bounty of $ 183,000 on Tay , who switched Ontario ridings after the comments were made in January .

Jenny Kwan , the NDP MP for Vancouver East , called Chiang ’s comments “absolutely astounding”.
