“But even if it didn’t change the results of our elections, any interference attempt, by any foreign actor, is troubling and serious.” “All political leaders agree that the election outcomes in 2019, and in 2021, were not impacted by foreign interference,” Trudeau said Monday evening at a news conference on Parliament Hill.
But Trudeau left the door open to taking that step if the “special rapporteur” he appoints thinks one is warranted. The move does not include calling a public inquiry into allegations of foreign meddling in Canada’s elections, against the explicit demands of opposition parties. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday he will appoint a new independent watchdog with a “wide mandate” to investigate foreign interference in Canada and recommend how to better respond to the challenge.
