More foreign interference action coming after inquiry report, India arrests: LeBlanc

Minister of Public Safety , Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc scans the room as he appears as a witness at the Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Election Processes and Democratic Institutions, Friday, February 2, 2024 in Ottawa. Members of diaspora communities are expected to testify today as a federal inquiry begins two weeks of hearings into foreign meddling allegations and how the government responded to them.

“We think we have put in place a series of measures that have been effective,” he told Mercedes Stephenson in an interview that aired Sunday on. “Can they be strengthened? Can they evolve based on the recommendations of the Hogue report? Of course they can.”LeBlanc pushed back on suggestions that Hogue had accused the Liberals of not doing enough on the issue, but said the government will in fact be taking further action.

He did say he understands the concerns in Canada’s Indian diaspora and other diaspora communities, including in the Jewish and Muslim communities, about increased threats to their safety posed by their home governments and other threat actors. He said the government is working with communities to ensure they feel safe.Three people arrested in connection with the death of Hardeep Nijjar in Surrey B.C.
