A senior public safety official told MPs the foreign influence registry will be implemented soon, two years after legislation to address foreign interference in Canada became law.

Assistant Deputy Minister of Public Safety Sébastien Aubertin-Giguère testified before the House of Commons procedure and house affairs committee on June 16 to provide MPs with an update on the implementation of the foreign influence transparency registry.
