The Canadian government was slow in responding to efforts by China and India to interfere in the country's elections but their outcome was unaffected by the meddling, an official probe said in a final report released on Tuesday.

There is no evidence of "traitors" in Canada's parliament plotting with foreign governments to interfere with elections, a Canadian public inquiry has said. The foreign interference commission's final report, released on Tuesday, said attempts by foreign states to meddle in recent elections were "troubling" but had "minimal impact".
