Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his decision to appoint a special rapporteur to look into election interference, saying Wednesday that the person would have full access to secret documents and analyze briefings, while ensuring national security remains safe.
However, Trudeau appeared to acknowledge Canadians would still have questions regardless of what he said.
"I know that no matter what I say, Canadians continue to have questions about what we did and what we didn't [do], 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.
Trudeau was asked questions about recent reports that two high-level national security reports before and after the 2019 election suggest he and his security adviser were warned Chinese government officials were funnelling money to Canadian political candidates.
