David Johnston files final report on foreign meddling, done as special rapporteur
OTTAWA — David Johnston filed his final — and confidential — report on foreign interference to the prime minister on Monday, ending his contentious term as special rapporteur.
At the time, pressure was mounting on the Liberal government to take action following multiple media reports, citing unnamed national security sources, that accused China of meddling in the last two federal elections. Those hearings were set to include testimony from government representatives, national security officials and members of the Chinese diaspora. The work was to be supported by three special advisers with expertise on national security intelligence, law and diaspora communities.
"I have concluded that, given the highly partisan atmosphere around my appointment and work, my leadership has had the opposite effect," he wrote at the time. "The government has received the Independent Special Rapporteur’s final report, which is classified, and would like to thank Mr. Johnston for his work on this important matter," the Privy Council Office said in a statement.
