The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has officially tabled legislation to establish a foreign agent registry. This move, aimed at countering foreign interference, includes amendments to the CSIS Act and comes in response to allegations of foreign meddling in Canadian elections. A coalition of diaspora communities, supported by Members of Parliament from various parties, had earlier advocated for this registry in the House of Commons. The legislation was introduced following the government's completion of necessary preparatory work.
