Canada: Foreign elections interference: Canadian officials testify on allegations, response by Trudeau gov Mar 2, 2023

Canada's Procedure and House Affairs committee met on Thursday morning to discuss the topic of election interference in Canada.
Speakers in this morning's session include Stéphane Perrault, Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, Caroline Simard, Commisioner of Canada Elections.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was provided “multiple” intelligence briefs regarding Beijing’s role in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections, Trudeau’s national security and intelligence adviser confirmed Thursday at a multi-partisan committee on foreign interference.
Questions have been raised about whether Trudeau’s government has responded with appropriate measures to counter these national security threats.
As Global News reported last December, the document states China’s “foreign interference networks in the Greater Toronto Area implicate at least 11 candidates in the 2019 election,” and that “some are likely unaware of these influence efforts while others have willingly cooperated.”
