Commissioner Justice Marie-Josee Hogue listens during the Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions in Ottawa on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
Canadians could get a clearer sense today of the extent to which China and other countries meddled in the past two federal elections — and whether the government and security agencies did enough to share that information — when the public inquiry on foreign interference releases its first report.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service , Canada's spy agency, has said it believes the Chinese government "clandestinely and deceptively" interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, according to a 2023 document made public at the inquiry. Former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole testified that he believes his party lost five to nine seats because of a foreign misinformation campaign aimed at Conservative candidates in B.C. and Ontario, and at his party more generally.
MP Han Dong arrives to appear as a witness at the Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions in Ottawa on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. "Why these leaks were of such deep concern was that we couldn't actually correct the record without … sharing with adversaries some of the information or the methods that we use to keep Canadians safe," he said.
