A federal agency reviewing foreign interference in the last two general elections is calling on the government to release additional secret cabinet documents to assist its investigation, saying it has so far received only a “limited number of documents” for its probe.
The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) has been studying allegations of foreign election interference since Global News and The Globe and Mail began publishing a series of reports in late 2022 citing national security sources and documents that highlighted efforts by Beijing to interfere in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 general elections.
