The national foreign interference inquiry will hold its first public hearings this week. ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson speaks with Dick Fadden, a former CSIS director, and Vina Nadjibulla, an international security specialist at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, about the threat of foreign interference, protecting national security, implications for Canada’s foreign relations, and more.

Plus, Stephenson sits down with The Globe and Mail’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Bob Fife and The Toronto Star’s Deputy Ottawa Bureau Chief Stephanie Levitz to discuss where the leaders stand ahead of the new 2024 parliamentary session.
