Opposition parties are demanding a full public inquiry into the allegations, but Trudeau has resisted, arguing Canada has the infrastructure needed to fully investigate the issue.Both Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said earlier Monday they will not accept any process to investigate the depth of foreign meddling in Canadian elections that is not as transparent as possible.
