An 'independent special rapporteur' will examine reports of Chinese meddling in recent elections.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that an independent special rapporteur will probe alleged Chinese interference in their recent elections.
"I will be appointing an independent special rapporteur, who will have a wide mandate and make expert recommendations on combating interference and strengthening our democracy," Mr Trudeau said. A federal public report last week found that efforts to meddle in the 2021 federal election did not affect the results.
"The way to stop foreign actors from acting in secret is to refuse to keep their secrets," said New Democrat MP Peter Julian. "We will abide by their recommendation," he said, calling the decision one of the official's first tasks after being appointed.
