Foreign interference poses a growing threat to Canada’s democratic institutions. The Government of Canada is working to ensure that Canadians can continue to trust in our capacity to protect Canadian democratic institutions. This includes a series of measures already in place, as well as ongoing work to further strengthen our electoral system against foreign interference. We are also continually reviewing measures in the context of new and evolving threats to ensure that we can detect, deter, and confront foreign interference in our democratic institutions.

The Government of Canada’s current measures to protect our democracy from foreign interference include:

The Plan to Protect Democracy: In anticipation of the 2019 election, Canada took concrete action to defend Canadian democracy through the Plan to Protect Democracy. This included measures to strengthen our electoral system against cyber and other threats. Following the 2019 election, elements of the Plan underwent internal and/or independent assessments, which confirmed the Plan’s effectiveness. In order to safeguard future Canadian elections, key measures are being improved and renewed. This will help protect our electoral system against cyber and other threats.
