A Conservative senator has introduced a motion to set up a registry for agents of foreign governments that he says is crucial for Canada’s national security.
Introduced on Feb. 24, Sen. Leo Housakos said Bill S-237 is needed to combat the “growing threat” of foreign interference in the country.
“It is critical that Canada takes concrete steps to curb the growing threat of foreign interference into our affairs & democracy. That is why, today, I introduced a motion calling for the establishment of a registry that identifies agents of foreign influence in Canada,” Housakos said on Twitter.
