My understanding is that folks are very concerned about back doors that China might potentially have to get the type of data that's being collected by TikTok and the opportunities for China to operate as a threat actor that those would provide.
I would say that Canada needs to show rather than tell in this area. By that I mean that we need to hold our own government to account to make sure that it is transparent and accountable and that it protects human rights and democracy online.
You earlier had the Communications Security Establishment and the head of CCCS speak at this committee on this study. CSE will neither confirm nor deny that it's using spyware against foreign adversaries as part of its work. You're not going to get an answer about whether China is doing that when Canadian authorities won't provide a clear answer either.
I would also just say that I would really like to see whatever information CSE gave to PCO or TBS in the lead-up to banning TikTok, because it's really strange that this social media app was selectively banned. The timing is notable, because it was obviously 10 days after an explosive report came out.
