David Johnson and Singh: Updates by WWF
Opposition Urges David Johnston's Resignation
Opposition MPs pass non-binding motion urging David Johnston to step down as special rapporteur investigating foreign interference, but its impact is expected to be minimal. The vote, with a final tally of 174-150, saw Liberal MPs voting against the motion. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh cited concerns about bias due to Johnston's connections to the Trudeau Foundation and the Prime Minister's family. The motion also calls for a public inquiry into foreign interference, despite Johnston's assertion that it is unnecessary. Johnston stated he would not be leaving his role, citing his mandate from the government. Opposition parties remain steadfast in their call for a public inquiry.
