This vote is about creating a commissioner to make sure foreign countries aren't secretly influencing Canada.

What They Voted On

Mr. Speaker, I request that it be passed on division.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about creating a new "Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner." Think of it as a watchdog for foreign meddling in Canada. Right now, there are worries that other countries might be trying to secretly influence our elections or government decisions. This new commissioner would be in charge of making sure that anyone working for a foreign government or organization is open about it. They would have to register and say who they are working for. This makes sure everyone knows where the information is coming from. This vote matters because it's about protecting our democracy. If foreign countries can secretly influence our government, it's harder for Canadians to make their own choices. By having a Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner, we can shine a light on any hidden agendas and keep our government working for Canadians.

This decision was made by "passed without counting" — no individual MP votes were counted.
