His mandate includes assessing the extent and impact of foreign interference in Canada's electoral process and reviewing the federal government's response to threats in the past two elections, including the extent to which Trudeau was briefed.Beyond accessing classified documents, the newly released mandate details that Johnston will also have access,"where necessary in their estimation," to records protected by cabinet confidence.
That co-ordinator — a role that Trudeau announced in March alongside that of the special rapporteur — will also work on expanding briefing mechanisms with provincial, territorial, municipal and Indigenous officials, the report said. The letter obtained by The Canadian Press was signed by Conservative, Bloc Québécois and New Democrat MPs.
