NDP to push for ‘national public inquiry’ into foreign interference
Trudeau defends Han Dong amid report CSIS warned of foreign influence concerns
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government have been under mounting pressure to launch some form of independent assessment of foreign interference in Canadian elections. Exclusive reporting by Global News suggests national security officials warned the Trudeau government that the Chinese government had deployed an extensive network to influence Canadian elections – including targeting both Liberals and Conservatives, according to Global’s sources.
Citing leaked documents, the Globe and Mail also reported that Beijing attempted to influence the 2021 vote, targeting Conservative candidates in hopes of a Liberal minority government. Trudeau has sidestepped direct questions about calling some form of inquiry, referring instead to the House of Commons committee’s ongoing study into foreign influence issues. Trudeau also told reporters on Monday that he believes Parliament’s security-cleared national security committee could re-examine the matter.
In March 2020, NSICOP reported that foreign interference was a “significant and growing threat” to Canadian domestic affairs. The committee review, however, focused on foreign interference between 2015 and 2018 – not the two most recent federal elections, or foreign interference during the COVID-19 pandemic.
