Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(a)(vi) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, May 25, 2023, the committee has considered the matter of foreign election interference.

Your committtee re-affirms its support for a national public inquiry, expressed in its Twenty-fifth Report, which was concurred in by the House on Thursday, March 23, 2023, and:

i) calls upon the government to begin consultations, among the recognized parties, on the appointment of that inquiry within 24 hours with a view to launching it within two weeks;

ii) calls upon the opposition leaders to accept the recommendation in 4 (d) from section VIII of the First Report - The Right Honourable David Johnston Independent Special Rapporteur on Foreign Interference, to obtain the requisite security clearance so they can read and review the full report, including the confidential annex, provided those leaders are able to speak as freely about conclusions based on this intelligence as the Right Honourable David Johnston, the Prime Minister, and other members of the privy council.

A copy of the relevant Minutes of Proceedings (Meeting No. 76) is tabled.
