Politics Insider: What we learned from the foreign-interference report

Hello,

Justice Mary Jose Hugo says that despite the incidents of behavior, he did not find any evidence of traitors in parliament who conspired with foreign states to work against Canada.

The head of a public investigation on federal electoral process and foreign intervention in democratic institutions submitted seven volumes on Tuesday With 51 recommendations – half of which can be implemented immediately, “he said,” Maybe even before the next election. “

Federal elections are expected this spring.

In its report, Hugo said the federal government had failed to take foreign intervention seriously and failed to work quickly or effectively to respond.

He wrote, “The government has to increase its efforts to educate and inform the public about foreign intervention.” “So far, his efforts in this regard have been pieces and faulty.”

The House of Commons told Hago last June to rule the results of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of all the parliamentarians whether some current and former politicians were wise or unaware of foreign states.

For inquiry, the government has identified six “major” incidents since 2018, targeting Canada’s democratic process, including the steps of Pakistan, China and India.

Some of the recommendations of Hugo include making a hotline for Canadian people to report foreign intervention and prohibit foreigners from nominating or voting in leadership competitions, as well as permanent residents. She also suggests that Ottawa should consider creating a national agency to monitor the unknown information and misinformation that affects the democratic process in Canada.
