The Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference (PIFI) is a critical initiative aimed at addressing foreign interference and strengthening national security in Canada. PIFI’s mandate includes evaluating current policies, practices and systems that address foreign interference; enhancing transparency; and recommending improvements for more effective governance.
These recommendations reflect a need to achieve higher levels of strategic transparency concerning foreign interference threats, the value of a further systematic review of the Canadian national security and intelligence (NSI) system, targeted improvements to the capacity of the NSI community, and measures to achieve greater political actor literacy on foreign interference threats.
