Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government plans to launch a National Counter-Foreign Interference Office, amid ongoing scrutiny of allegations that Beijing interfered in recent federal elections.
Tuesday's federal budget earmarked $56 million over five years for measures to combat foreign interference, threats and covert activities.
The measures come as former governor general David Johnston takes up his role as a special rapporteur, with a mandate to sort out whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should call the public inquiry demanded by the three main opposition parties. Ottawa also plans to beef up its money-laundering regime and policies tackling terrorism funding through a series of proposed amendments.
Ottawa would also compel banks to report on assets held by people who are subject to sanctions, beefing up existing rules that generally only compel such reporting on clients suspected of terrorist financing and money laundering.
