The federal government will move forward with the creation of a registry of foreign agents to help prevent China and other countries from meddling in Canada’s affairs, Radio-Canada has confirmed.
As first reported in La Presse, Canada will table a bill either this summer, or if the Justice Department is not able to draft the legislation in time, in the fall, according to a government source.
The federal government launched public consultations on the concept in March. That outreach effort closed May 9 and a government source said it showed Canadians broadly support the initiative.
