A public inquiry in Canada is set to hear from current and former Members of Parliament (MPs) who have been targeted by foreign meddling. The federal committee on foreign interference resumed after a summer break, with the commissioner outlining how the inquiry would address elected officials accused of aiding foreign governments. Conservative MP Michael Chong, who has been targeted by Beijing due to his criticism of China’s human rights abuses, stated that Canada has become 'a playground' for foreign interference. Tory MP Chong reiterated this sentiment during the inquiry. The inquiry will also focus on Canadians allegedly tied to a Russian influencer operation.
