MPs on a House of Commons committee are set to vote this week on a motion calling for former governor general David Johnston—the recently appointed special rapporteur tasked with investigating foreign interference in Canada’s last two elections—to appear at committee for questioning about his work.

NDP MP Rachel Blaney recently served notice that she will ask the Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs to vote on the motion this week, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
