STATEMENT BY MP JENNY KWAN: Implementation of Canada's Foreign Interference Law Misses the MarkCanada has faced an unprecedented and growing threat from foreign interference. The Hogue Commission has identified China and India as the most aggressive and sophisticated foreign interference actors targeting Canada’s democratic institutions. Political party leaders still have not been properly consulted with the appointment of the Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner as required by law. These political decisions send a dangerous message that tackling foreign interference is not taken seriously and not a priority for the Federal government. Foreign interference is a real and ongoing threat to Canada particularly at a time when Canada is opening up trade relationships internationally.
