OTTAWA — A newly released independent report on the protocol designed to inform Canadians in the event of threats to the 2021 federal election concludes i
t worked well overall, but the public should be told more about what it would consider cause for concern.
The protocol was created in 2019 to monitor threats to federal elections. If a threat meets its threshold, the panel created by the protocol can make an announcement to Canadians. But the panel did find there were attempts at foreign interference that did not meet the threshold for making an announcement, which would happen only if members found there was a threat to Canada’s ability to have a free and fair election.
The panel also found there were domestic threats in the 2021 campaign that included threats of violence and disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.
