There are questions about how public this inquiry will be, and whether Marie-Josée Hogue has access to the expertise she needs
Charles Burton is a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, non-resident senior fellow of the European Values Center for Security Policy in Prague, and a former diplomat at Canada’s embassy in Beijing.that a public inquiry is being launched to investigate interference with Canada’s core democratic processes by China, Russia and other hostile entities – including any potential effects on the results of the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
Justice Hogue appears to have little background in national security issues, with her own legal career having focused more on commercial and civil litigation, and professional liability. In light of this, will she be given the resources needed to complete a comprehensive study of this complex issue – within the tight deadline of February, 2024?
Mr. LeBlanc said Justice Hogue will bring “fresh eyes” to topics that she otherwise has no demonstrated credentials to address. She is a respected and capable jurist, but will clearly need a lot of support, including leading experts with deep knowledge in the field, in order to fulfil this critical mission.
