Very strongly agree

Yes, but ensure it does not unfairly target diaspora communities

A core Liberal emphasis has been balancing security measures with Charter rights and avoiding stigmatizing diaspora communities; government statements around a registry repeatedly stressed safeguards against unfair targeting.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Trudeau Liberal government moved toward creating a foreign influence transparency registry in 2023–2024 amid foreign-interference concerns (e.g., after the Johnston report and subsequent public inquiry), indicating clear support in principle.

Agree

Yes, protect national sovereignty by aggressively exposing foreign interference

Liberals support protecting sovereignty and countering interference, but generally avoid ‘aggressively’ framed, hardline rhetoric; their approach emphasizes measured, rights-respecting implementation and due process.

Disagree

No, it will lead to racial profiling and discrimination against immigrant groups

Disagree

No, existing laws are sufficient to fight espionage without more bureaucracy

Liberals have argued existing tools are not sufficient on their own and that additional transparency measures (including a registry) are warranted, particularly in the wake of 2023–2024 foreign-interference revelations and policy responses.
