Conservatives say the federal government shouldn’t delay establishing a foreign agent registry mandated by legislation passed nearly a year ago to combat foreign interference.

Tory MP Michael Cooper said  in the House of Commons on June 6 that Canada has “become a playground for foreign interference,” adding that although legislation to combat foreign meddling was passed last year, which includes the creation of a foreign influence registry, the federal government has yet to take action.
