In this episode of @thisguysgarage , we dive into Meeting No. 21 of the PROC Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, held on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, in West Block Room 035-B. Acting Chief Electoral Officer Vanessa Lloyd faced intense grilling from opposition MPs—particularly Conservatives—over Elections Canada's failures to adequately protect the integrity of the most recent federal election from foreign interference.MPs pressed Lloyd hard on why the agency did not act more decisively or transparently to counter documented attempts at foreign meddling (including disinformation campaigns, funding flows, and influence operations linked to state actors), despite prior warnings, intelligence briefings, and public reports. Questions focused on delayed responses, insufficient monitoring of online platforms, gaps in enforcement powers, and whether Elections Canada was adequately equipped or willing to safeguard democratic processes against interference threats.Lloyd defended the agency's actions as limited by current legal authorities and emphasized ongoing efforts to strengthen safeguards, but critics argued the responses were too slow, too passive, and failed to prevent or mitigate real risks to election security and public trust.Context: Foreign interference in Canadian elections has been a major national security and democratic concern, with multiple public inquiries, NSICOP reports, and media revelations documenting attempts (primarily from China, but also other actors) to influence outcomes through disinformation, candidate intimidation, and funding proxies. Elections Canada has faced criticism for its reactive posture, limited mandate to address foreign meddling proactively, and reliance on other agencies (CSIS, RCMP) for enforcement. This PROC hearing reflects ongoing scrutiny of electoral integrity, transparency, and the need for legislative reforms to empower the agency against evolving threats.Fair Use Statement: This video includes short clips from the official parliamentary broadcast, used under fair use doctrine (as per U.S. Copyright Act Section 107) for purposes of commentary, criticism, and/or news reporting.
