Registry would list foreign agents lobbying public officials

Toronto Sun: 'Debate on a bill that would identify foreign agents lobbying those in public office was opened in the Senate, reports Blacklock’s Reporter.

'This comes after a former national security advisor spoke last May about the threat posed by Chinese agents.

'“Foreign influence and interference is real,” said bill sponsor and Senator Leo Housakos (Que.). “It is very much happening right here in Canada. In many cases it can be financial.

'Bill S-237, An Act To Establish The Foreign Influence Registry, would set up a public registry naming require all federal lobbyists acting for “a foreign government, an individual or entity related to a foreign government.”'

Perfect. We need this. Let's see how many oil competitors are paying the Liberals and NDP to destroy Albertan energy. Let's see how many Chinese Communist spies are weakening our institutions. Let's see how many Islamofascists are propping bad actors. Transparency is one antidote for corruption.
