Joly, Mendicino to appear at foreign interference inquiry today

OTTAWA — A federal inquiry into interference in Canada’s affairs is slated to hear today from Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

Former public safety minister Marco Mendicino is also scheduled to testify at the commission of inquiry.

Officials from Joly’s department, Global Affairs Canada, appeared late last week.

The inquiry’s latest hearings are focusing on the ability of agencies to detect and counter foreign meddling.
