Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed that his government will appoint a special rapporteur to investigate allegations of election interference. He made this revelation during a recent press conference in Ottawa.
He said: “In the coming days we will appoint an eminent Canadian to the position of independent special rapporteur who will have a wide mandate to make expert recommendations on protecting & enhancing Canadians’ faith in our democracy.
“This is an issue that we continue to take extremely seriously—and we will continue this work to uphold and strengthen your confidence in our democracy in Canada.”
Trudeau talked about the importance of making sure that Canadians can be confident in the integrity of their democratic process, particularly in light of the increasing occurrence of foreign interference in elections around the world.
He said: “We’ve seen a level of partisanship around this question that for me requires us to take a step back and to task an eminent, unimpeachable expert, respected & trusted by Canadians, to be able to make recommendations as to what the best path is forward.”
He noted that the job of the special rapporteur would be to investigate allegations of election interference and make recommendations on how to ensure such interference does not happen in the future.
