Green Party leader wants Parliament to adopt foreign interference changes before election [Video]

Federal political parties should work together to quickly adopt recommendations made by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue’s inquiry into foreign interference before the next election, says Green Party Leader Elizabeth May.

In her report made public Tuesday, Hogue made 51 recommendations — 24 of which she said should be adopted before the next federal election.

However, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to prorogue Parliament while his party holds a leadership race to succeed him means that Parliament is unable to enact any of Hogue’s recommendations that involve changes to legislation such as the Canada Elections Act. It is widely expected that opposition parties will make good on their promise to defeat the minority Liberal government when Parliament resumes sitting on March 24, plunging Canada into a federal election.
