Foreign Influence Transparency Registry

FITR Monitor

The FITR Monitor tracks the implementation of the Foreign Influence Transparency and Accountability Act (FITAA) through the Foreign Influence Transparency Registry (FITR), documenting how the legislation can infringe on the public and private lives of Canadians.

The FITR Monitor is designed to track the implementation of FITR and its impacts on the public and private lives of Canadians. It assesses the effectiveness of the legislation, and assesses its infringement on Canadian lives. We monitor issues such as stigmatization against diaspora groups, infringement on Charter rights, and other measures that lead to discriminatory exclusion.

Read more about our analysis, commentary, recommendations and news related to FITR as the legislation continues to unfold.

L’Observatoire du FITR suit la mise en œuvre du registre et ses effets sur la vie publique et privée des Canadiens. Il évalue l’efficacité de la loi et ses atteintes à la vie des Canadiens. Nous surveillons notamment la stigmatisation des communautés issues de la diaspora, les atteintes aux droits garantis par la Charte et les autres mesures qui entraînent une exclusion discriminatoire.

Découvrez nos analyses, commentaires, recommandations et actualités concernant le FITR au fil de la mise en œuvre de la loi.
