Russia is not a significant threat to Canada’s elections though it remains a risk, says a country summary document compiled by Canada’s security and intelligence agencies, including with input from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

“The Russian Federation continues to pose an FI threat to Canada, although it is likely not currently a significant foreign interference (FI) actor in relation to Canadian federal elections,” reads the document released at the Foreign Interference Commission in Ottawa on April 4.
