The Liberal government has vowed to review the recommendations laid out in the Foreign Interference Commission’s final report and promised over $77 million toward protecting Canada’s elections, while the Conservative Party has accused the government of failing to protect Canadians from foreign interference.
The commission’s report, released on Jan. 28, said that foreign powers have been attempting to interfere in Canada’s democracy by influencing elected officials and spreading misinformation and disinformation. The report says China is the most active perpetrator of foreign interference in Canada, followed by India.
