Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Therrien.
We began a study much earlier in this Parliament on a data breach with Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. Since then, I sometimes feel we've become the parliamentary committee on Facebook. We followed them halfway around the world trying to get answers, and we're still being buffaloed, and I think we'll invite half the world to come here to meet with us again in Ottawa when it's a little warmer to maybe get some more answers from Facebook. But it seems we go week in, week out with new questions and seemingly a continual lack of accountability.
I want to ask you a specific question, though, whether or not you've looked into it. We had the explosive article in The New York Times about the privileges given to certain Facebook users, to be able to read the personal, private messages of Facebook users. They mentioned that RBC was one of them. We've heard from RBC. They said they never had those privileges, that they never did that. The Tyee is now reporting that Facebook has told them that RBC had the capacity to read, write and delete private messages of Facebook users who were using the banking app.
Have you looked into that? Do you think that requires follow-up? Should we take RBC's word for it? Should we, as a committee, be considering this as some of our unfinished business on the Facebook file?
