The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has initiated steps to establish a registry of foreign agents, a move spurred by allegations of foreign interference in national elections, including meddling by China and India. The Trudeau administration, with Dominic LeBlanc hoping to table the legislation this week, filed the necessary paperwork and has tabled a bill that includes changes to the CSIS Act, aiming to enhance transparency and address security concerns. This legislative action targets entities acting on behalf of foreign governments.
