Liberals say no changes coming for leadership race, despite risk of foreign interference
The Liberal Party of Canada will be the first federal party to hold a leadership contest since the Hogue Commission on foreign interference revealed meddling by foreign governments in previous races, and there is every reason to expect governments that have sought to meddle in the past will continue to try to influence outcomes.
The Liberal Party told CBC News on Monday that it doesn't intend to change or reinterpret rules in its 2016 constitution that Elections Canada has suggested could make the vote be at least as vulnerable to such efforts as previous leadership races.
That includes allowing international students to vote at a time when the number of people in the country who are neither citizens nor permanent residents has continued to grow, despite sharp cuts in the approval rates of new student visas.
Statistics Canada says there are now more than three million non-permanent residents living in Canada.
