00:00 A newly declassified intelligence report in Canada accused India of election interference
00:07 in the country.
00:09 The report was released by Canada's Security Service, i.e., the Canadian Security Intelligence
00:14 Service or CSIS.
00:17 It comes amid an ongoing government inquiry initiated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:23 The inquiry is aimed at investigating foreign interference in Canada's 2019 and 2021 federal
00:30 elections.
00:31 The declassified report, obtained by Global News, revealed that foreign interference networks
00:38 were deeply embedded in Canadian politics, operating at various levels of the government.
00:45 The report highlighted that the interference was incrementally weakening Canada's democracy.
00:51 Unlike traditional diplomatic activities, foreign interference relies on secrecy and
00:56 deception to influence Canadian policymaking, public narratives, and civil society.
01:01 However, much of the report remains classified, with several sections blacked out.
01:07 No specific countries were named in the publicly disclosed parts.
01:12 But according to materials released to Global News, China and India were identified as top
01:17 threats.
01:19 The report noted India engaged in FI or foreign interference activities.
01:24 Unfortunately, this information was heavily redacted, leaving only that sentence intact.
01:31 Last week, an independent commission tasked with investigating foreign interference in
01:36 Canada made a significant request to the Trudeau government.
01:40 The commission sought information on possible meddling in the 2019 and 2021 elections by
01:45 India.
01:47 It stated that it had formally requested documents relating to alleged interference by India.
01:53 The commission, charged with conducting an independent public inquiry into alleged foreign
01:58 interference by various nations, including China and Russia, is expected to release an
02:03 interim report by May 3.
02:06 This inquiry aims to shed light on the extent of foreign influence on Canadian affairs and
02:11 maintain the integrity of the nation's democratic processes.
