OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it was “absolutely” acceptable that it took two years for his government to design and pass a major bill to help combat foreign interference.

Trudeau was the final witness of the latest series of fact-finding hearings of the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference (PIFI) Wednesday.

During the first part of his testimony, Trudeau confirmed that there were several intelligence or policy products relating to foreign interference that had never crossed his desk.
