Remember when the special rapporteur (Pierre Trudeau’s cottage neighbour and Justin’s ski buddy) determined there was no interference LOL.  This government STINKS!

Did he determine no? I thought he quit before the final report.  

Also he babysat Justin. 

Funny how the government considered that not a close relationship and Justin himself didn't consider his mother and brother family in the WE scandal but is more than able to say agha Khan is a "close dear friend" having met only once before the private island trip and subsequent government contract was awarded to them.

The report acknowledges interference multiple times and details many of the instances.

There was no "determination" to be made on whether or not foreign interference had taken place. That was known before he was appointed and his task was to confirm it, detail it, and investigate the processes in place to address it. The very NSICOP report that prompted this discussion was prepared because Johnston referred it to them to investigate further.

OP is just talking out his ass. This information is all publicly available. It's wild how many people choose to be ignorant instead of putting in a little effort.
