Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, was in a “insufficient transparent state” of foreign interference in Canadian politics, and sometimes attempts to interfere with the last two general elections in the last two general elections by foreign power, including China and India, including China and India. “It took too long to act,” he said Tuesday. .
The committee said, “The trust in the democratic institution of Canada has been shaken.”
Marie-Josée Hogue, a court court of Quebec, said the government’s efforts to rebuild trust were “fragmentary and overwhelming.”
The final report includes 51 recommendations from the Committee to strengthen the Canadian election system, ranging from the strict rules of the National Party and the third -party financial rules to the information sharing and information sharing during the campaign.
Judge Hogue said that about half of the recommendations should be implemented promptly before the next election.
The Trudeau government had no immediate response to this report.
But the recent announcement that Trudo’s recent announcement will be a Liberal Party leader and prime minister will not be able to prepare a committee’s recommendation before the upcoming election, experts said. Liberal lawmakers are expected to elect Trudo’s successor by early March, and will be held in a few months.
Ryan Alford, an associate professor of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, said, “I think it’s mourning that the timeline cannot implement this recommended protection. “Sadly, paradoxically, we will reinforce the concept that attempts to occur in the last two federal elections will inevitably occur in this election.”
The announcement of this report prevented a year -long public investigation of foreign interference that Trudeau’s government opposed. It was finally rejected after a special leak to the Canadian news district of the Canadian News Information Report, which released Chinese people in the last two general elections in 2021 and 2019.
In addition to the witness’s oath testimony and the release of information reports, several months of public hearings have revealed whether foreign forces, especially China and India, have been trying to further develop their interests in Canada by supporting or opposing certain candidates in elections.
According to the investigation committee, the overall consequences of the elections were not affected, but interference could affect a small number of individual races.
China and India have focused on activities in the constituencies of Toronto and Vancouver, and are filled with large and well -organized Chinese and Indian Diaspora by some voters who are highly popular by Canadian political parties. The public hearing was attempted by China and its agents to undermine major opposition conservative candidates, which adopted China’s records of human rights and strong lines for control of Hong Kong.
In contrast, the Chinese government and its proxy tended to support Trudo’s Liberal Party candidates. After Trudeau was first elected in 2015, he had a friendly relationship with Beijing, including the Free Trade Agreement, and dismissed a warning of a Chinese telecommunications company Huawei Technologies to work in Canada.
Witnesses and information reports showed how foreign governments and agents tried to affect the elections on Diaspora members, and many of them had a business and other ties with their own countries. The Diaspora community is the second of foreign interference
Molinaro said, “Foreign interference is happening in the Diaspora community. “If it didn’t happen in the Diaspora community, there would be no foreign interference elsewhere, and the report was relatively quiet.”
Trudeau and his government have neglected the threats on charges of benefiting from China’s interference. However, a series of information forced Trudeau to inquire as a leakage and e -mail newspaper and global news television network.
Canada also accused the Indian government that he had adjusted the murder in 2023 near Vancouver in Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Canadian leader of the Sikh Lord’s Independence Movement in India.
The survey showed how foreign forces abused their weaknesses in the Canadian democratic system, especially the political parties of the political parties. The party selects a general election candidate in a nominated race with loose rules and no external supervision.
The company used the system to bend muscles using the system, but the nomination was described by the inquiry committee as “the gateway to a foreign country that wants to interfere with the democracy process.”
In a Liberal Party Race in the Toronto District, where China’s large diaspora is located, the bus was nominated for dozens of foreign students as a candidate for Beijing.
According to a special council’s report, the Chinese consulate told students that they should vote to DONG to maintain their student visa. DONG won the general election after being nominated on Earth, a liberal base.
As the details of foreign interference appeared at the public hearing, the council passed the bill that created the registration of foreign agents last summer and could easily investigate and prosecute foreigners.
In the final report, Judge Hogue wrote, “Foreign interference is an isolated case that might have affected the election results in the constituency.” But she added that she was relieved by the minimum influence of such efforts.
Duff Conacher, the founder of democratic surveillance, independent monitoring organizations, said the final report underestimated foreign interference.
Conacher said, “It is minimal influenced by information. “Add documented examples. And there is a threat from the murder of Canadian citizens and the members of Diaspora in many countries. It is not minimized. ”
