Commission on Foreign Interference | Two MPs to Testify Tuesday

(Ottawa) Liberal John McKay and Conservative Garnett Genuis are scheduled to appear before the federal inquiry into foreign interference on Tuesday.


Both MPs sit on the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, a group that brings together representatives from various countries to hold Beijing to account.

Representatives from the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections, which is conducting investigations, are also expected to testify before the federal commission of inquiry, which is headed by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue.

The current round of public hearings focuses on the ability of federal agencies to detect, deter and counter foreign interference.

The hearings, which are scheduled to continue through October 16, will be relatively broad in scope, examining democratic institutions and the experiences of diaspora communities.

Beginning October 21, the commission will hold a week of policy consultations to help Judge Hogue formulate recommendations.
