It seems to me that in the normal course of events, CSIS and whoever would have been following money from, and activity by, foreign governments, and government would respond accordingly. Failings on the part of CSIS and whoever could be dealt with by their superiors, the government. No need for a Commission for that.
Wherefore a Commission if not to unbiasedly investigate what a government will not?
I don't care about diaspora intimidation -- I want to know if/how our elections and government have been influenced, who knew about it, and when.
Hard to believe the current government doesn't have its finger on the scales.
