Diaspora communities expected to be heard from during 2 weeks of testimony
A federal inquiry into foreign interference is set to hear from diaspora communities Wednesday to kick off two weeks of testimony about meddling allegations and how the government responded to them.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, members of his cabinet and various senior government officials are also slated to appear at the hearings, which run from March 27 to April 10.The inquiry will then shift to broader policy issues, looking at the ability of the government to detect, deter and counter foreign interference. A final report is expected by the end of the year.
The next month, the federal government announced that an independent rapporteur would look into foreign interference, one of several measures to counter meddling and strengthen confidence in the electoral process. Johnston said several leaked materials that raised legitimate questions were misconstrued in some media reports, presumably because of a lack of context.
The inquiry held an initial set of hearings in late January and early February to solicit ideas on how to disclose as much information as possible about such a highly sensitive subject. NSICOP’s report was recently submitted to federal ministers. A declassified version of the report is to be tabled in Parliament within 30 sitting days.
