The Liberal government is beginning consultations to create a foreign influence registry, Marco Mendicino announced Friday.
Mendicino signalled late last year that the Liberal government wanted to hear from experts and the broader public, including members of affected communities, about creating a registry.
One of the goals of the consultation is to “broadly engage all Canadians in a conversation about how to protect our institutions from foreign interference in an inclusive manner that respects the diversity of our population and, of course, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” he said. “We have a great responsibility to ensure that we are not unfairly or unintentionally creating a cloud that hovers over an entire community that is feeling incredibly uncertain and who have felt the discomfort of unconscious bias that became very conscious in the early days of the pandemic,” said Ng, who joined Mendicino at the announcement.Article content
On Friday, Both Ng and Mendicino accused Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of stoking division on the issue of election inference and not being mindful enough of anti-Asian racism, which increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
