OTTAWA — The director of Canada’s spy agency says foreign actors did not compromise the past two federal elections.
Under a federal protocol, there would be a public announcement if the panel of senior bureaucrats determined that an incident — or an accumulation of incidents — threatened Canada’s ability to have a free and fair election.Vigneault is testifying in front of the procedure and House affairs committee today, where he says CSIS takes foreign interference seriously, and he often briefs the prime minister and other ministers on the issue.
Meanwhile the deputy commissioner of federal policing for the RCMP, Michael Duheme, said the Mounties did not receive any “actionable intelligence” about the last election that would lead to an investigation, and no charges have been laid. Caroline Simard said her office received 158 complaints related to 10 situations in the 2019 election, and 16 complaints related to 13 situations during the 2021 election.She says two more complaints have been brought to her office since she last testified at the procedure and House affairs committee in November.
