Friday Focus: Foreign interference in Canada

This week’s Friday Focus podcast examines a Canadian parliamentary committee’s blockbuster report on foreign interference that finds some members of Parliament and senators are “providing information learned in confidence from the government to known intelligence officers of foreign states” and providing privileged information on their fellow parliamentarians to foreign officials. Rudyard Griffiths and Janice Stein discuss the report’s shocking details, and debate what should be done in response.
