The Canadian Senate has passed Bill C-70, aimed at countering foreign interference. The bill, which was introduced earlier as Bill C-40 at its first reading in the Senate, was approved after senators voted down an amendment proposed by Senator Woo to remove the words 'in association with' from several sections. The legislation, which has been a significant topic in Canadian politics (#SenCA, #CdnPoli), is designed to help deter, investigate, and punish foreign interference. It now awaits royal assent to become law.
