OTTAWA—The Liberal government is leaving the door open for a public inquiry into foreign interference, but it wants federal opposition parties to work together to come up with its terms of reference.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the opposition parties should be able to collaborate on the issue because they have demonstrated the ability to do so in the past few months.
