Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the prime minister’s “independent rapporteur” to investigate foreign election interference will not be “independent.”

“He could pick someone independent, but he won’t,” Poilievre told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday. “He'll pick another Liberal establishment insider—a real Ottawa insider with some gray hair who looks like a reasonable fellow, but we all know that it will be someone tied to him, tied to the Liberals, here to protect the Liberal establishment.”
