Visit2019, 2021 Canada Elections: Inquiry Finds China's Meddling Did Not Impact Results, Eroded Trust
May 3, 2024, 04:10 PM
A public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada's federal elections, led by Commissioner Hogue and released today, has concluded that while there were attempts by China to meddle in the 2019 and 2021 elections, these did not alter the overall results or undermine the integrity of the electoral process.

The report has been closely watched for its implications on Canada's democracy and its defenses against such interference, and addresses the flow of intelligence and the scope of state meddling.
