As reports of alleged Chinese interference in the last two federal elections stack up, MPs on the House of Commons committee examining foreign election interference will be hearing from some of Canada's highest-ranking intelligence officials on Wednesday.
So far, Trudeau has resisted calls from the opposition parties for a public inquiry amid increasing demands for the federal government to be transparent about what top elections integrity bodies and security agencies knew about allegations that specific MPs or candidates were targeted by China.
Trudeau told reporters earlier this week that, in addition to the ongoing work of PROC, he’s “hopeful” that NSICOP embarks on a study into how to continue to strengthen Canada’s electoral systems and guard against interference, which has recently been noted coming from“Canadians do want to hear directly from independent experts on the safety, the stability, the security of our elections and of our democratic processes despite the ongoing attempts at interference,” Trudeau said.
"I think we need something that will be as open as possible and as objective as possible. I understand there's a parliamentary committee looking at this right now, but I think it's actually unfair to ask MPs who are by definition partisan, to look at this issue totally objectively," Fadden said on CTV News Channel's Power Play on Monday. "I think what is at stake is the confidence of Canadians and the integrity of our political system, of our electoral system.
