A landmark report led by judge Marie-Josee Hogue concluded that Canada's democratic institutions are resilient against foreign interference, finding no evidence of treachery within parliament. However, the report noted that some politicians displayed naivety and questionable ethics. Despite prior allegations of wrongdoing and the acceptance of bribes by some parliamentarians, Hogue's investigation did not support claims of significant foreign meddling. Hogue urged the federal government to take further precautions and improve public awareness regarding foreign interference risks to strengthen democracy.
Hogue found no evidence of crimes against the country by lawmakers, but some were behaving naively, highlighting the need for better safeguarding of democracy.
The commission's lead emphasized that foreign interference threats exist, urging the federal government to enhance public awareness and protect democratic institutions.
