3月10日上午，公共安全部长马守诺（Marco Mendicino）宣布启动公共咨询，就设立加拿大外国影响透明度登记处（Foreign Influence Transparency Registry in Canada）征集公众意见，旨在确保代表外国政府倡导之人士的透明度和问责制，并确保经常被外国干涉企图所针对的社区得到保护。政府邀请加拿大人分享他们对这一保护我们机制之重要工具的评估看法。
伍凤仪部长及多位国会议员出席了新闻发布会，伍凤仪部长也在发布会上表示，自2015年以来，加拿大政府就专注于加强和保护我们的民主机制。她还批评目前的一些党争政治攻击，指这些攻击一再无视本国高层公务员的反馈意见，分裂社区。她还表示：任何时候当我们谈到登记在我们国家的外国人之时，我们必须留意历史。我们肩负着重大责任，要确保我们不会不公平地或无意地制造出一片乌云笼罩在整个社区头上，让整个社区都感到难以置信的不确定性，有的社区已经曾经因为无意识的偏见而感受到不安，这些偏见恰恰是在疫情早期变得令人感触极深。
伍凤仪还向华裔加拿大人社区表示，华人之社区的议员，她已经听到了你们担忧和不安的声音。我们看到了反亚裔种族主义的卑鄙抬头，贯穿整个疫情大流行期间，我们现在因为这些党争性的攻击而感受到非常大的不确定，这些党争攻击在播种恐惧和愤怒。像所有其他加拿大人一样，我们的社区深切关爱着加拿大，关爱民主。 我们去做义工，我们去投票，我们发出自己的声音。但有一种感觉我们无法摆脱，那就是怀疑的目光，它们现在在质疑我们为什么要参与，就好像我们很容易就被远方的敌对行为者所操控或影响。 这是绝不可接受的。华裔加拿大人有将近 200 万，遍布全国，所有政党的领导人都需要后退一步，站出来确保我们不会迫使整整一代的数百万加拿大人疏远政治进程。
公共安全部长马守诺表示：“加拿大绝不会接受外国干涉我们的事务。对于企图干涉我国的敌意政权，我们睁大眼睛。关于建立加拿大外国影响透明登记处的公众咨询将加强我们应对干涉并保护加拿大人的努力。”
公众咨询问卷：
Consulting Canadians on the merits of a Foreign Influence Transparency Registry
Foreign governments have legal, established, and legitimate channels of engagement with the Government of Canada. However, some foreign governments cross the line from standard diplomacy and lobbying into foreign interference when they seek to exert influence in non-transparent ways. These activities can have serious implications for Canadian interests, national security and democratic processes and institutions.
While Canada has a number of existing tools to support transparency, new measures could be considered, such as a foreign influence transparency registry, which would better align Canada’s approach with those of like-minded partners and allies, bolstering overall collective resilience.
The Government of Canada is engaging a diverse range of stakeholders and the public on a foreign influence transparency registry. A registry will not only expand Canada’s toolkit to confront the evolving threat of foreign interference, but also increase broader transparency around foreign influence in Canada. Key areas of the consultation include:
- registrable activities;
- exemptions;
- information disclosure; and,
- compliance.
