Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeated on March 1 that he doesn’t support launching a public inquiry into allegations of foreign interference in Canadian elections as the three main opposition parties have now requested.

He said in a news conference that there are already “an awful lot of mechanisms that are underway right now, determining what kind of foreign interference has happened, is continuing to happen.”
