Inquiry into foreign interference from China, Russia is underway, Justice Hogue says

Justice Marie-Josée Hogue says a federal inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian democracy is now underway and she is promising to make as much information as possible available to the public so they can understand the scope and seriousness of the problem.

In the second phase, the inquiry will examine the capacity of federal departments and agencies to detect and counter foreign interference by hostile states such as China and Russia. The inquiry expects to issue a call for applications for standing by interested parties on November 10, 2023, when it launches its website. Funding may be available for parties that meet approved guidelines, Justice Hogue said.
