Special rapporteur David Johnston is expected to release his decision Tuesday on whether the federal Liberals should call a public inquiry on foreign interference.
With allegations that China meddled in the last two federal elections dominating the political conversation for months, experts say an inquiry would allow for a detailed, transparent conversation about what kind of threat Canada is actually facing.
The federal government said it gave Johnston access to classified documents and Canada's security agencies to conduct that work. The signs that foreign interference was happening — and getting worse — were already in plain sight well before the current controversy began.And for years, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has been warning of growing concern in its annual reports.
Later the same month, Canada released an Indo-Pacific strategy that dedicated a slice of its $2.3 billion value to combating foreign interference. His political opponents already saw any action other than an independent public inquiry as far too little. A parliamentary committee passed a non-binding motion calling on the government to do begin one.
But even as the Liberals sought to show they were working on the issue, still more reports emerged that ramped up the pressure. Global had previously published allegations that Dong benefited from Chinese foreign interference in his successful bid to become the Liberal candidate for his riding in 2019.Early this month, the Globe and Mail reported that Conservative MP Michael Chong and his relatives in Hong Kong had been targeted by the Chinese government via a Toronto-based diplomat.
