Newly appointed federal Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says that calling a judicial inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s elections by the Beijing regime is “complicated.”

Mr. LeBlanc, who was given the new portfolio while retaining intergovernmental affairs, made the comments shortly after being appointed to his new position in a cabinet shuffle on July 26.
