I understand. Let me just clarify your oath. This is important.

Portions of this report have been declassified by David Vigneault. He declassified that under Canadian law in order to prevent threats to me and my family. He's authorized under law to declassify certain portions of it, which he did.

I'm not asking for the report. I'm just asking if the department would let the committee know whether or not it received this report. The report is titled “PRC Foreign Interference in Canada: A Critical National Security Threat CSIS IA 2021, 2022-31”.

I'm wondering, Minister, if you would commit to the committee in letting us know whether or not the department actually got this report.
