Nearly seven in ten Canadians want the public release of names of MPs accused of foreign interference and for them to publicly explain their actions – Majority want MPs found guilty of foreign interference criminally charged and jailed (Globe and Mail/Nanos)

Canadians are over twice as likely to prefer that the names of MPs who have been found to be “semi-witting or witting” participants in supporting foreign states interfering in Canadian political life be publicly released (68%) and they should have to publicly explain their actions, over them having the opportunity to privately defend themselves before the committee on foreign interference first (28%).

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,018 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between June 28th and July 3rd, 2024 as part of an omnibus survey.

The margin of error for this survey is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

This study was commissioned by The Globe and Mail and the research was conducted by Nanos Research.
