Foreign election interference: Government House leader Mark Holland comments on Conservative motion

Government House Leader Mark Holland speaks with reporters on Parliament Hill about the Conservative Party's opposition day motion that calls on the prime minister's chief of staff Katie Telford to appear under oath as part of the House of Commons ethics committee's study on alleged foreign interference in Canada's 2019 and 2021 federal elections. The motion also calls for Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and other high-profile witnesses to appear. MPs are scheduled to vote on the motion on March 21. A filibuster by Liberal members at the House of Commons procedure committee, which is also studying foreign election interference allegations, have prevented a vote on asking Telford to testify.
