foreign influence registry

For more than a year, Canada has been mulling the creation of a foreign agent registry to fight interference in the country's democratic processes.

A prospective foreign influence registry must not be "overly broad" to avoid unfairly targeting members of the Chinese-Canadian community and other minority groups,a senator said on Thursday, March 16, 2023.

Senator Yuen Pau Woo questions whether a foreign influence registry might become "a modern form of Chinese exclusion," and says angry reaction to his suggestion proves his point about racial profiling and stigmatization.
