===The Trust Series: Exploring Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference===

===The Trust Series: Exploring Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference===

On September 5, 2025, the Government of Canada introduced new measures to support Canadian industries in a changing global trade environment. In support, Public Services and Procurement Canada launched the Buy Canadian Procurement Policy Framework to prioritize Canadian suppliers and strengthen domestic supply chains across federal procurement.

Foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) is not simply “fake news” from abroad. It involves sophisticated, coordinated operations designed to undermine a country's national security. Whereas foreign espionage targets state secrets, FIMI weakens social cohesion and erodes the fabric of public trust.

This session will help managers understand how the Framework affects their day-to-day decision-making. The session features a panel discussion on the intent and rollout of the Framework, key policy changes, implementation challenges, and the roles and responsibilities of contracting authorities and business owners. Participants will gain a practical understanding to support compliant, strategic, and forward-looking procurement within their teams.

This informative event will convene representatives from government and civil society to examine why foreign threat actors engage in foreign information manipulation and interference, the tactics they deploy, and the many impacts on Canadian institutions and society.
