Canada’s leading research universities warn that a proposed foreign influence transparency registry could have an unintended “chilling effect” on international partnerships, meaning Canada misses out on cutting-edge opportunities.The U15 Canada universities are among several concerned voices urging MPs to adopt changes to the planned registry, a centrepiece of legislation being whisked through a House of Commons committee.Members of the committee are slated to begin a clause-by-clause review of the sweeping anti-foreign interference bill today – including any amendments – after only a week of hearings.
