The next phase of the work of the public inquiry into foreign interference will begin Monday in Ottawa, with an opening statement by Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue.
The coming weeks of public hearings will focus on the ability of federal agencies to detect, deter and counter foreign interference.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and key federal government officials participated in other hearings earlier this year as the commission examined allegations that China tried to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 elections.
Judge Hogue’s initial report, released in May, concluded that Beijing’s actions had no impact on the overall results of the two general elections.
The document noted, however, that it is “possible that the results of a small number of constituencies were affected,” but added that this cannot be said “with certainty.”
Mr. Trudeau, members of his entourage and senior security officials are expected to return to testify in the coming weeks.
