We've concluded our study on social media and our report is being drafted. However, as with many things, sometimes, the context changes. Last week, we learned that the Department of Industry had launched a national security review of TikTok. When the people from TikTok appeared before us, perhaps they knew or didn't know, we don't know; however, one thing is certain: the picture that was painted was far from anything like a national security review. Indeed, TikTok was recently described as digital fentanyl or a technological weapon in the 21st century. We're hearing all sorts of things.
The fact that a Canadian minister has called for a national security review leads me to question the validity of our report. It's possible, therefore, to add a warning to our report, or cancel it altogether. I'm putting the question to the group here, because I believe that, if we don't take clear steps in this regard, our report will be a joke.
