NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will be introducing a non-binding motion in the House of Commons calling on David Johnston to resign from his role as special rapporteur on foreign election interference due to what Singh called a “clear appearance of bias” on Johnston’s part.

“Given the clear apprehension of bias at this point, we are going to be asking for Mr. Johnson to step aside as special rapporteur,” Singh told reporters in Ottawa on May 29.
