OTTAWA — Opposition parties continue to call for a public inquiry into foreign interference, but the NDP is welcoming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's choice of a special rapporteur.
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says Johnston is"close" to Trudeau, and called the idea a"superfluous" waste of time since opposition parties will still demand a public inquiry. "It is the responsibility of consular institutions to have extensive contacts and carry out friendly exchanges with local governments and all circles of society," the embassy wrote on Twitter.
The appointment came after Global News and the Globe and Mail newspaper reported allegations of Chinese interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
