Addressing Foreign Interference in Canada

What actually is foreign influence, and how might Canada handle China’s interference in its domestic affairs? Akshay Singh is a research associate at the Centre for International Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa. We discuss:

• How to roll out a foreign agent registry;
• The role of the US-Canada relationship;
• Whether foreign influence is a diaspora problem;
• And performance reviews for the United Front’s Canada desk.
