Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government would not announce any more steps on investigating allegations of foreign interference until the other parties “buy-in” to the process, claiming that “toxic” partisan games could hinder the independence of the procedure.

“Over the past month, the opposition parties played terrible, partisan, and toxic games with a process that was independent and serious in its approach,” Trudeau told reporters on June 28.
