The member from Spadina, Fort York, addressed the prime minister regarding national security and the upcoming Hogue Commission report on foreign interference. He questioned the prime minister's ability to work alongside ministers who may not be serving Canada's interests, implying that at least one minister could be compromised. In response, the prime minister criticized the member's comments as disgraceful and irreverent, emphasizing the seriousness of national security issues. He pointed out that the member's alignment with the Conservative Party is concerning, as their leader lacks the necessary clearance for briefings essential to keeping Canadians safe.

The speaker emphasized the importance of informing Canadians that a social media account is linked to the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party. Intelligence indicates a concerted effort within the Communist Party to spread and manipulate narratives seen by Canadians. A hallmark of democracy is the ability to have debates during an election period, unfettered by foreign influence. When asked to be more specific about the assessment that this is not likely to impact the ability for a free and fair election, the speaker stated that the activity is contained to a specific social media platform, and Canadians can get information from a variety of sources. The panel felt it was important to share this information because of the level of engagement on the platform and the account's link to the PRC. However, there is no evidence to suggest at the moment that it has any impact on how people may choose to cast their vote.

The committee's report on potential treasonous behavior is concerning, but no charges have been filed. The government takes foreign interference seriously, with new measures in place. The public's right to know about involved parliamentarians is debated, especially with an upcoming election. Foreign interference is a significant threat to democracy, with authoritarian regimes seeking to undermine it. Vigilance and defense of democracy are crucial in the face of global challenges. Law enforcement, not politics, should handle enforcement actions.

Canadians demand transparency in investigating potential traitors. The government is cooperating with the Hogg Commission and providing necessary documents. The National Security Committee of Parliamentarians will also be involved. The opposition should refrain from making baseless claims in parliament.

A commission of inquiry must balance the need for transparency with protecting Canada's national security. It is important for the public and journalists to know if foreign actors targeted Canada's democratic process, but revealing sensitive information could harm national interests. While transparency is crucial, secrecy is also necessary in certain situations to prevent more harm than good.

The speakers discuss a dangerous and divided world, citing threats from Iran, Russia, and China, as well as changing security and commercial relationships with the United States. One speaker mentions having obtained top secret security clearance within three weeks to be informed and make decisions. He then points out that another speaker has refused the opportunity to obtain top secret security clearance for 950 days. The other speaker explains that while he previously held top secret clearance as a minister, he refused the recent offer because it would have gagged him under security law, preventing him from speaking freely about foreign interference without fear of prosecution. He claims Canada has experienced Chinese interference in two elections. He says that refusing the clearance allowed him to speak freely about issues such as a candidate who allegedly threatened a political opponent, and a quarter billion dollar loan obtained in China. The first speaker responds that robust debate has occurred despite the situation, and observes that China is not the only country accused of foreign interference.

Canada's spy agency warns that China's media manipulation is becoming common, with calls for stricter measures against foreign interference. Reports suggest a clandestine network funded by Chinese state entities influenced the 2019 and 2021 elections, favoring a Liberal minority government while targeting Conservatives. Allegations include a $250,000 transfer from the Chinese consulate to support federal candidates. Experts note that the Chinese Communist Party uses various tactics, including disinformation and economic pressure, to sway elections. The integrity of Canadian elections is under scrutiny, with concerns about the normalization of foreign influence and the potential for candidates to be compromised. There are calls for a foreign agent registry to address these issues and protect Canadian democracy.

The speaker states that, regarding election security, everyone must acknowledge egregious behavior and foreign influence, of which there is direct evidence. Other foreign partners also have evidence and were watching attacks on the election system on November 3rd. They are willing to provide that evidence directly to the president, and this evidence was received today. These foreign partners and allies are willing to help. The speaker concludes that foreign influence against election security and the SolarWinds system is dangerous, and more must be done.

I am currently seeking answers regarding classified briefings to ensure none of my MPs have ties to foreign powers. If any do, they should not run in the next election. Other party leaders should do the same. The federal government should be more engaged in defending Quebec regarding bill 96.

The speaker states that interference or federal election crimes will be aggressively investigated, and they will work with partners to quickly take appropriate action. They are also coordinating with private sector technology and social media companies. The goal is to ensure these platforms aren't used by foreign adversaries to spread disinformation and propaganda.

The speaker claims that every Canadian prime minister has been compromised by agents of influence working for Chinese intelligence. This poses a significant security risk, raising concerns about who is truly in control of the country. They suggest the need for an independent investigation to protect against future threats, citing Australia's law against foreign interference as a model to follow.

The Prime Minister previously supported ENSCOCOP's role in examining foreign interference in Canada's democracy, but there seems to be a shift in stance. Questions arise about whether a recent ENSCOCOP report revealed involvement of Liberals seeking political and financial gain. Is the Prime Minister still committed to transparency and public trust in institutions, or has external influence changed this approach? In response, the Minister for Public Safety emphasizes the importance of oversight, noting that the government established a committee of parliamentarians to monitor security agencies for the first time. This committee includes members from all political parties, and their recommendations have been acted upon to enhance national security and combat foreign interference.

Canada's spy agency warns that China's media manipulation is now common, with calls for stronger foreign interference measures. Reports suggest a covert Chinese election interference network funded the 2019 federal election, and intelligence briefings indicated attempts to influence the 2021 election in favor of a Liberal minority government while targeting Conservatives. Allegations include $250,000 funneled from the Chinese consulate to support candidates. Experts highlight Beijing's strategies, including leveraging proxies and disinformation campaigns, to undermine political opponents. Concerns grow over the normalization of foreign influence in Canadian politics, with a need for robust defensive measures against such threats to democracy.

Canada aims to ensure all citizens can freely and safely participate in democratic processes. Internationally, Canada is working with partners to address transnational repression, and the G7 will discuss a coordinated response under Canada's 2025 presidency. Domestically, Canada is taking a whole-of-society approach, with security and intelligence organizations at the forefront of detecting and countering threats. Canadians are advised that their vote is secret and secure, and it is an offense to threaten someone to change their vote. They should record details of any such incidents and report them to local police or the RCMP National Security Information Network for non-immediate threats. The panel mentioned has a high threshold for intervention and does not monitor individual opinions, perspectives, or perceived public influence.

The NDP has called for a public inquiry into allegations of foreign interference, specifically from the Indian government. The Minister agrees that the inquiry should investigate interference from the Modi government. The safety of Canadians and the integrity of the rule of law are of utmost importance. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are actively investigating in collaboration with their US counterparts. The government expects full cooperation from India in this investigation. No further comments will be made due to the ongoing nature of the investigation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The speaker discusses a document revealing foreign interference in the 2019 Canadian federal election involving Chinese individuals, community leaders, and politicians. They mention CSIS briefings on PRC interference in the elections, implicating candidates and staff. The panel received briefings on PRC's pragmatic interference tactics. The speaker confirms CSIS briefings to the panel but struggles to recall specific details. The language used in the briefings aligns with public summaries on PRC's activities.

The commission successfully balanced national security and transparency in investigating foreign interference in recent elections. While some information is classified, the public report highlights that our electoral system remains robust despite acts of interference. The commission will continue its work to shed more light on government responses to foreign interference. Preliminary findings suggest no impact on election outcomes, but communication issues and lack of understanding were identified in combating interference.

Canadian security agencies are investigating credible allegations linking Indian government agents to the murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nejjar. Canada prioritizes the safety of its citizens and the defense of its sovereignty. Law enforcement and security agencies are focused on ensuring this safety and holding those responsible for the murder accountable. Canada has expressed its serious concerns to senior Indian intelligence and security officials. At the recent G20 summit, these concerns were directly communicated to Prime Minister Modi, emphasizing that any foreign government involvement in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of sovereignty.

In 2015, I emphasized rejecting divisive politics, hate, and fear. It's unacceptable. Recently, unacceptable views were discussed. A security breach at a sensitive lab led to a snap election before the news broke. China interfered to help win. Admiration for China's dictatorship was expressed. Trudeau was called a disgrace to democracy.

We are proud of our influence in government. A constituent asked about outside interference in democracy, specifically regarding Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum. He claimed that the WEF has infiltrated over half of Canada's cabinet. In the interest of transparency, could you name the cabinet ministers aligned with the WEF's agenda? Order, please. The question is important, but the audio and video quality are poor. I apologize for that. The younger generation, including Prime Minister Trudeau, is involved.

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc testified at the foreign interference inquiry, stating Canadians can vote with confidence. He expressed a preference for being promptly informed by senior staff about urgent matters, even if it meant being contacted at inconvenient times. PMO officials explained that some information, like notes about foreign interference, didn't reach the Prime Minister due to world events in early March 2020 that interrupted the process. They added that briefings are sometimes delivered in paper form for security reasons. According to PMO staff, CSIS never names individuals in briefings and is restricted in what information it can share outside the government, sometimes resulting in MPs not fully understanding the warnings they receive. Security expert Wesley Wark believes Bill C-70 will improve this by allowing CSIS to share some information with politicians and diaspora communities. Wark anticipates that India and China's alleged interference will be prominent in the inquiry's final report, and that all future governments will need to pay close attention to intelligence. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to testify on Wednesday.

The speaker claims that not only the current government, but all previous governments have ignored their warnings about interference. They believe it took so long for this information to come out because of partisan politics and the influence of Chinese intelligence agents. According to the speaker, every prime minister and government office has been compromised, posing a significant security risk for Canadians. They suggest the need for an independent investigation and the implementation of laws similar to Australia's 2017 law against foreign interference to protect the country's future.

The speaker claims that both the current and previous governments have ignored their warnings about interference. They believe there are two reasons for this delay: partisan interests and infiltration by Chinese intelligence agents. According to the speaker, every prime minister and government office has been compromised by these agents. This poses a significant security risk for Canadians, as it raises questions about who is really in control of the country. The speaker suggests the need for an independent investigation and the implementation of laws, similar to those in Australia, to protect against foreign interference.

Scientists, medical experts, and researchers worldwide recognized that vaccination was crucial in overcoming the pandemic. While not mandatory, I ensured that incentives and protections were in place to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated. As a result, our vaccination rates surpassed those of our peer countries, leading to a less severe pandemic. However, there are dissenting voices in the comment section of this livestream. It is important to find ways to protect and address their concerns while fulfilling my duty as prime minister to preserve lives, safety, and democracy.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed allegations of Chinese interference in Canada's elections, stating he has not received any information from security agencies regarding federal candidates receiving money from China. Reports suggest that intelligence officials briefed Trudeau about China targeting Canada, including funding a network that supported 11 candidates in the 2019 election. A National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians highlighted significant foreign interference threats from countries like China and Russia, which aim to exploit Canada's openness and manipulate its political processes. Trudeau emphasized the importance of public concern for democracy and acknowledged attempts by China to interfere in Canadian elections in 2019 and 2021. In response, China's foreign ministry criticized Trudeau's remarks, urging Canada to refrain from statements that damage bilateral relations.
