Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada must “do more” to prevent Chinese interference when asked by reporters what should be done about recent allegations that China meddled in the 2019 federal election.

“For the past two elections, we had a committee that was working on these very issues and also we strengthened our processes, but I think we need to do more,” Joly said after making an announcement on Canada’s upcoming new Indo-Pacific Strategy at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy in Toronto, Ont., on Nov. 9.
