Tories, Bloc discuss next steps on foreign interference as NDP pitches its own idea
OTTAWA — Two opposition party leaders have now met to discuss the next steps for how the Liberal government should tackle the issue of foreign interference.
Johnston presented a report last month recommending against a public inquiry, citing the difficulty of having one when national security information must be kept secret. During that time, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deferred to his special rapporteur on what should be done about allegations that China meddled in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters the government remains open to an inquiry, but it wants to hear from opposition parties on who could lead one, what the timeline should be and how it would deal with secret information.
