Foreign Interference News

Conservatives,Michael Chong,Canada

Conservatives are proposing to speed up passage of the foreign interference legislation introduced this month to ensure its measures are in place ahead of the next election.

to Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Chong said Conservatives are proposing to move a unanimous consent motion at the end of the debate during the second reading of Bill C-70. If adopted it would allow the bill’s “expeditious passage” through the House of Commons and committee before receiving royal assent.

“Conservatives will work in good faith to ensure the rapid progress of Bill C-70 through the House while ensuring sufficient scrutiny of the bill’s measures. I look forward to working with you to see the passage of this legislation through Parliament.

LeBlanc said after tabling the legislation that he was hopeful all the provisions included in the bill are in place by the time of the next election. The legislation comes amid increasing pressure on the federal government to strengthen its measures against foreign interference, particularly against elections and diaspora communities.
