OTTAWA — National security agencies and Liberal cabinet ministers are being summoned by a House of Commons committee to testify about China's alleged influence over the last federal election.
The committee is also summoning Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, representatives from Elections Canada and national security agencies including the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week that Canadian voters alone decided the outcome of the last federal election.
Under a federal protocol, there would be a public announcement if a panel of senior bureaucrats determined that an incident — or an accumulation of incidents — threatened Canada's ability to have a free and fair election. "This is the same Trump-type tactics to question election results moving forward," O'Connell said in response to Tories' allegations that the government has kept the public in the dark about what election interference occurred.
