He said, “The obligation of Parliament at this point is to do everything it can to try to heal the divisions that have been created.” Do you agree?
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
I'm not a parliamentarian.

Would you agree with me that one of the most important roles of a prime minister is to unite Canadians and not divide them by engaging in name-calling?
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
The Prime Minister should protect Canadians.
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
I agree with protecting Canadians.

Do you agree that the Prime Minister should not be name-calling?
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
I'm not going to comment on that.

Larry Brock Conservative Brantford—Brant, ON
Okay.
You are aware that at the inquiry, the Prime Minister stated that he did not call people who were unvaccinated names. Are you aware of that statement?
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
Yes. I heard that statement.

Would you agree with me that the Prime Minister stated on Quebec television in September 2021 that there are people who are fiercely opposed to vaccination, who do not believe in science and who are misogynistic and often are racist; that there are not many of them, but they take up a lot of space; and that he asked, as a leader and as a country, do we tolerate these people or do we say, “come on”?
He repeated those same talking points during the unnecessary 2021 federal election. Do you agree that he made those statements?
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
I did not personally hear those statements. I apologize.

Would you agree with me that the Prime Minister either has a significant problem with his memory or he deliberately and intentionally misled the inquiry?
National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Privy Council Office
Madam Chair, I don't think that this is fair questioning.
