Canadian Spy Agency Officials Testify on Foreign Interference at Federal Inquiry

The inquiry examines the ability of federal agencies to counter foreign meddling, with a focus on China's sophisticated cyber activities.

Interim CSIS Director Vanessa Lloyd and former director David Vigneault are among the key witnesses at the inquiry.
Leaks from CSIS about alleged foreign interference prompted the Liberal government to establish the commission.
CSE Chief Caroline Xavier highlighted China's advanced and persistent cyber and foreign-influence operations as a major threat.
The inquiry also heard about the cyber activities of other countries like Russia, Iran, North Korea, India, and Saudi Arabia.
A final report from the inquiry is expected by the end of the year, addressing the effectiveness of federal agencies in countering foreign interference.
