Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Sunday that he will be reaching out to his fellow opposition leaders to talk about the details of a possible public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre told reporters in Ottawa on Sunday that he would reach out to fellow opposition leaders to discuss a potential public inquiry.
"I will work with our opposition colleagues to make sure that the person who fills that role is independent and unbiased in doing a thorough and public investigation," Poilievre told reporters during a press conference Sunday. On Saturday, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the government is open to a public inquiry — after the Liberals previously accepted David Johnston's recommendation against holding one — but said opposition parties need to provide input on the inquiry's leadership, terms of reference and how it would handle sensitive intelligence information.
LeBlanc said the government wants to move quickly to work with opposition parties on the future of what he mostly referred to as a "public process" to investigate and review foreign interference. Johnston had intended to hold a series of public hearing on the issues, which differs from a potential public inquiry.
