Opposition parties have reacted with varying degrees of enthusiasm to the launch of a public inquiry into foreign interference, with the Conservatives saying it took too long and the Bloc Québécois and NDP calling it a good day for Canadian democracy.

“Never forget that Justin Trudeau has tried to do everything to avoid this. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the point where we’re at today,” said Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer on Sept. 7 from the party’s convention in Quebec City.
