He will be allowed to examine secret documents and has no limits on who he can talk to in his investigation
by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to probe the effect of foreign interference in Canada’s electoral processes.
Mr. Johnston’s first report is due by May 23, the government said Thursday, and will address whether the former governor-general believes a public inquiry is necessary. The government said Mr. Johnston would issue other reports on a rolling basis until late October. NSICOP draws members from the House of Commons and the Senate. Its reports are sent to the Prime Minister’s Office, which has the ability to redact information for national-security reasons. The committee, which meets in secret, has examined foreign interference in 2019. Experts say its findings have been largely ignored by the government. NSIRA also meets in secret and releases an annual report to Parliament.
Included in his special-rapporteur job description is a mandate to examine what findings and recommendations to address foreign interference in those two elections were made by CSIS, the Privy Council Office and members of the Critical Election Incident Public Protocol panel that was established to monitor these elections.
Meanwhile, members of a parliamentary committee say they continue to wait for information about when Mr. Trudeau was briefed about foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 elections.
