Election over foreign interference would be ‘self-serving’: NDP

Opposition leaders are calling for special rapporteur David Johnston to resign after he ruled out holding a public inquiry into foreign interference. Johnston says he’s staying until his work is done and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his decision. But opposition leaders still say a public inquiry is needed to restore trust in Canada’s democratic institutions – a call that is backed up by NDP MP Jenny Kwan, who was recently informed the Chinese government is targeting her. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson sits down with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Jenny Kwan to discuss the NDP’s next move and the consequences of government inaction.
