OTTAWA — A federal inquiry into foreign interference plans to hear from senior Global Affairs Canada officials today.

The hearings, scheduled to continue through Oct. 16, are focusing on the practices of key agencies as well as the experiences of diaspora communities.

Beginning Oct. 21, the commission will hold a week of policy consultations, including roundtable discussions featuring experts, to help develop recommendations.
