Facebook will soon be unveiling new tools to track political ads and an advisory board of “prominent Canadians” will be telling the company about big issues it can expect to crop up in the forthcoming election campaign.

The measures will bring the company into compliance with new federal rules designed to stop foreign interference in the election, as Canada tries to avoid its own version of the Russian interference alleged in the 2016 election in the United States.

The new details come just weeks after Google announced it was throwing in the towel and banning political advertising, complaining that the government’s new political advertising rules are too onerous and legally risky to comply with.

Facebook said the government’s rules, set out in bill C-76, were a “difficult undertaking” but it still plans to have its ad library up and running by the end of June.

“If Parliament had wanted us to ban political ads it would have passed a law that required that,” said Kevin Chan, the head of public policy at Facebook Canada.
