The federal government says the Security and Intelligence Threats Task Force will be closely monitoring byelections in four ridings next month for signs of interference.
Votes are being held June 19 in Notre-Dame-de-Grace-Westmount, Oxford, Portage-Lisgar and Winnipeg South Centre.
SITE is also tasked with preparing two reports - one classified, and one unclassified - about any attempts at interfering in the byelections. Conservative MP Michael Chong is set to testify this evening at the House of Commons procedure committee about a CSIS report that alleges a Chinese diplomat tried to intimidate him over his stance on China's human-rights record.
But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other ministers have maintained they were not aware of the assessment until it was reported on by the Globe and Mail.
