David Johnston filed his final — and confidential — report on foreign interference to the prime minister on Monday, ending his contentious term as special rapporteur.
Johnston had announced his plans to resign earlier this month, saying the atmosphere around his work had become too partisan. He pledged to submit a final report to the government before the end of June.
The director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, David Vigneault, told a House committee in March that the 2019 and 2021 elections were free and fair. The leaders of all political parties have also stated that they do not question the results of those elections. Days after the report was made public, a majority of MPs passed a non-binding NDP motion calling on Johnston to step down due to perceived bias, with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre repeatedly accusing him of being too close to Trudeau to review his government's actions.
In his letter Monday, Johnston said he has provided a revised confidential annex to the Privy Council, and it will be provided to the Prime Minister's Office, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency. "The report will be reviewed by the government and will be shared with the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, and leaders of opposition parties with the appropriate security clearance."
