Canada's public inquiry investigates alleged foreign interference in elections, including India's role alongside China and Russia. The probe, initiated by PM Trudeau, stems from leaked intelligence about Chinese interference. It marks India's first accusation of election meddling in Canada. The inquiry seeks documents on India's alleged involvement in the 2019 and 2021 elections. Led by Judge Marie-Josee Hogue, the commission aims to assess the government's response to foreign interference. Tensions between India and Canada heightened with previous allegations, affecting diplomatic relations. The investigation, prompted by US indictment of Indian agents, plans an interim report by May and a final report by December.
