On March 15th, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that former Governor General David Johnston would serve as the “independent special rapporteur” on foreign interference for the Liberal government. In a statement released by Trudeau’s office, the Prime Minister expressed confidence in Johnston’s ability to conduct an impartial review of the impact of foreign interference on the last two federal elections. The government has stated that it will follow Johnston’s recommendations, which may include calling for a public inquiry or judicial review. The decision was made following consultations with all opposition parties, although they have not been supportive of the appointment of a rapporteur rather than holding a public inquiry.
