Staff from the Prime Minister’s Office are set to talk on Tuesday on the public inquiry into overseas interference in Canada’s elections.
The testimony comes a day after the inquiry noticed a briefing doc ready for the PMO stating China meddled within the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
The doc from Canada’s spy company says it knew China “clandestinely and deceptively interfered” in these elections.
It says in 2021, Chinese overseas interference actions had been very probably motivated by a notion the Conservative Party of Canada’s marketing campaign platform was anti-China.
The fee will hear from the PMO’s Katie Telford, Jeremy Broadhurst, Brian Clow and Patrick Travers a day earlier than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems Wednesday.
Senior authorities officers who monitored election threats informed the fee Monday that incidents throughout these campaigns didn’t meet the edge to situation a public warning.
