Brampton Mayor and former Conservative leadership candidate Patrick Brown says the outcome of the 2022 race was not affected by foreign interference, after reports suggested his campaign team faced pressure from India.

“I don’t believe foreign intervention affected the final outcome of the Conservative leadership race. I believe that Pierre Poilievre was successful in that race because he signed 300,000 plus memberships, and I don’t believe acts of foreign intervention affected that result,” Brown testified before the public safety committee on Dec. 5.
