| China sought to "clandestinely and deceptively" influence Canada's federal elections in 2019 and 2021 with the aim of electing candidates that could further — or at least not oppose — Beijing's strategic interests, according to Canadian intelligence reports introduced as evidence in a public inquiry. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had long resisted calls to launch a public inquiry into claims that China interfered in Canada's elections and has defended his government's response to the threat of foreign interference. The Canadian leader, who is testifying before the commission today, has said there's no evidence the results of the elections were compromised. |
