Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre is expected to hold a conference on Tuesday.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday committed to new steps his government will take to combat foreign interference, including additional independent investigations and further steps toward establishing a foreign agents registry.

But none of the steps in Trudeau’s multipronged approach included a public inquiry, which Opposition leaders had signalled earlier in the day was the only method of investigation they would support.

Instead, the decision on whether or not to call such an inquiry will be made by an independent, special rapporteur who will have a “wide mandate” to oversee the new probes and make recommendations on how Ottawa can better combat foreign interference and inform the public about such attempts.
