Yesterday, the committee received a letter from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada regarding its review of national security issues raised by the TikTok application. The letter notifies us of the stages of the review, which could take up to 200 days. The letter does not even specify whether, after 200 days, we'll get a response.
Since we are currently preparing the committee's report on TikTok, I think it would be problematic to go ahead and release our report and findings without knowing what will be in the department's review report. In addition, the letter's wording does not make it clear whether we will ever find out.
For the moment, I'd like us to agree to postpone the completion of our report, at least until the department completes its review, which I think is too far in the future. We can challenge the timeline, but we can't issue what I would consider a fluff report while the department is conducting its national security review. Those findings could turn out to be quite serious.
