Rapporteur to probe alleged Chinese interference in Canada polls

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that  an independent special rapporteur will probe alleged Chinese interference in their recent elections. He further said that two agencies will probe allegations of Chinese interference in the country’s elections in 2019 and 2021, but a public inquiry in the matter will not be held at this time. Law enforcement is now investigating the leak of information that led to media exposes about Beijing alleged influence efforts to swing the elections in favour of the ruling Liberal Party. The appointed investigator will review classified reports about the 2019 and 2021 federal elections and will make recommendations for future contests. Rival political party leaders have called for a public inquiry.

Addressing the media in Ottawa on Monday, Trudeau said the foreign interference issue will be addressed at the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA). Neither of the investigations will be public.
