Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to attend question period in the House of Commons in Ottawa on Wednesday, amid ongoing controversy regarding allegations of foreign election interference in the 2019 and 2022 Canadian elections.

Earlier in the day, Trudeau defended his decision to appoint a special rapporteur to look into election interference, saying that the person would have full access to secret documents and analyze briefings while ensuring national security remains safe.

"I know that no matter what I say, Canadians continue to have questions about what we did and what we didn't, and that is why an independent special rapporteur is going to be able to look at the entire landscape and dig deeply into everything anyone knew at any point and come back to us," he said.

On Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre doubled down on the opposition’s calls for a public inquiry, one day after the prime minister announced additional independent probes and reviews into the issue. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party is upholding the minority Liberal government through a supply and confidence agreement struck last year, has also been vocal in his call for a public inquiry.
