>*China’s foreign interference extends beyond elections to other key areas of Canadian society, the public inquiry on foreign interference was told Monday.*
>*Martin Green, a former top foreign intelligence assessment expert with the Privy Council, said a special report prepared for the Privy Council’s Intelligence Assessment Secretariat in January 2022 concluded that China was going beyond merely trying to influence Canada.*
>*”You can’t look at foreign interference just solely through the lens of the electoral system,” Green told the inquiry. “I think it’s much bigger than that. You’re seeing … kind of hybrid tools being brought to bear.*
>*”So in the case of a country like China, there is clearly a very sophisticated tool kit which involves foreign defence, national security and intelligence activities, there’s economic coercion, there’s military pressure, there’s espionage. So there’s a suite of tools that are brought to bear that we’re seeing much more often.”*
>***Green said he consulted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former national security adviser David Morrison about the special report. He said he later sent the report to Morrison’s successor Jody Thomas, and raised the issue with her during a number of meetings.***
