Canada's intelligence agency, CSIS, has revealed that a former parliamentarian is suspected of working on behalf of a foreign government to influence parliamentary business. This disclosure was made during a federal inquiry into foreign interference, where CSIS also highlighted other significant incidents of foreign meddling in Canadian politics over the past five years. The inquiry is part of a broader investigation into attempts by foreign governments to sway Canadian political outcomes, including efforts to defeat a Liberal candidate.
