Canada Launches Inquiry into Foreign Election Interference

The Hogue commission investigates allegations of meddling by China, Russia, India, and others in recent federal elections.

Canada was identified as a 'high-priority' target for Chinese interference ahead of the 2021 election, according to a top-secret intelligence assessment.
The inquiry, led by Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue, is probing the extent of foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
CSIS Director David Vigneault discussed the challenges of sharing sensitive information with the public inquiry.
Allegations include attempts to sway Canadian citizens of Chinese descent and targeting of political candidates.
The inquiry's interim report is due May 3, with final findings expected by the end of the year.
