Foreign interference inquiry requests postponement of first report to May
A federal inquiry into foreign interference has asked to delay its first report by about two months in order to allow sufficient time for a public process and hearings on the issues.
Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue said in a press release Friday the requested postponement until May 3 is aimed at giving "meaning and purpose" to preliminary hearings, and to allow more time to maximize transparency.
Ensuring classified information is put into a form that can be released to the public is a long and complicated process, she added.
