(Global News) The highly anticipated public inquiry into foreign election interference is set to begin Monday, examining how countries like China, Russia and India may have tried to meddle in Canadian democracy.
But some national security experts warn Iran’s growing influence may be missed, despite how far the regime has “spread its tentacles” in Canada.
“Any country on which we have substantive information of engaging in foreign interference should be included,” Dick Fadden, former head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, told host Mercedes Stephenson in an interview with The West Block.
“To ignore Iran, given the public information we have about Iran, will just raise questions the (commission) won’t be able to answer,” added Fadden who is expected to testify at the inquiry on Wednesday.
