Amid mounting pressure over allegations of Chinese election interference, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said on Tuesday that “foreign interference represents a serious threat to our institutions.”
Mendicino said that the Liberal government “put in place a number of tools to assist our intelligence community and other agencies that operate within the public safety apparatus to mitigate against those risks. We have also made sure those mechanisms include ones that drive transparency. We have created two independent panels that are made up of our top, professional, non-partisan public servants.”
He said the panels “concluded that the elections in 2019 and 2021 were not compromised” and were “free and fair.”
“Canadians and Canadians alone determine the outcomes of our elections,” Mendicino added.
