Ottawa, Ontario
Protecting our country against the threats posed by foreign interference is a responsibility that the Government of Canada takes very seriously. In recent years, Canada has increasingly become a target of hostile states. While the threat of foreign interference is not new, it is evolving. From hacking to harassment; from our elections to business; to the daily lives of Canadians.
The Minister of Public Safety, the Honourable Marco Mendicino, today announced the launch of consultations to guide the creation of a Foreign Influence Transparency Registry in Canada, to ensure transparency and accountability from people who advocate on behalf of a foreign government and ensure communities who are often targeted by attempts at foreign interference are protected. These consultations with key stakeholders and the Canadian public will inform the path forward, including potential legislation.
All Canadians are encouraged to share their views through the consultation web page
