The public inquiry studying foreign election meddling has found no evidence that “traitors” in Parliament are plotting with hostile states against Canada’s interest.
In her final report, released Tuesday, Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue wrote that although she has seen a few cases where a foreign state has attempted to curry favour with parliamentarians, “the phenomenon remains marginal and largely ineffective.”
“While the states’ attempts are troubling and there is some concerning conduct by parliamentarians, there is no cause for widespread alarm,” she wrote.
