The federal government has proposed fines of up to $1 million for non-compliance with its upcoming foreign influence transparency registry, aimed at countering foreign interference in Canada. Draft regulations detail the information required from individuals and organizations engaging with foreign principals to influence political activities. The registry, part of legislation passed in 2024, seeks to enhance transparency and align Canada with international standards. An independent commissioner will oversee the registry, enforcing compliance through penalties and potential criminal charges.
