The creation of a public registry listing the names of foreign agents would be a “valuable” tool, the RCMP said in a government memo.

“A foreign agent registry would be valuable for Canadians as a registrable activity would ensure foreign actors undertaking certain activities are operating in the interests of the Canadian public,” the federal policing agency said in a 2023 ministerial briefing obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
