Two years ago bombshell allegations emerged suggesting foreign actors were succeeding in influencing Canadian electoral contests and Canadian parliamentarians.

Media reports suggested the Liberal government hadn't done enough to warn the public or even MPs about the matter, and a political debate emerged about how best to get to the bottom of it.

After a series of false starts, it was Quebec Court of Appeal Justice Marie-Josée Hogue who was appointed to investigate and weigh in with findings and recommendations.

Tuesday, Hogue issued her final report.

While Hogue left some questions answered, she came to a very different finding on a key matter involving foreign interference and parliamentarians.

This week on "It's Political," we unpack what we learned from Hogue's report and what it says about where foreign interference threats now lie.

Then NDP MP Charlie Angus joins us to discuss what he see as the next and most concerning phase of foreign interference. Hint: it's at your fingertips.

In this episode: The Center for International Governance Innovation's senior fellow Wesley Wark, Timmins—James Bay NDP MP Charlie Angus, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Public Safety Minister David McGuinty. Hosted by Althia Raj.
