Minister, you opened your discussion with us with a reference to the Heartbleed vulnerability and the impact it had on the federal government and its operations. You indicated that there was a breach of personal data, which the RCMP is now prosecuting as a criminal offence.
Minister, you indicated that Treasury Board is concerned about the Heartbleed bug and suggested that the committee should be concerned about it. You may be aware that there was a motion before this committee to study the Heartbleed vulnerability; I put forward a notice of motion that there be a discussion on that motion.
You will notice that there is no discussion pending on the Heartbleed vulnerability scheduled for this committee. You will also notice that there is a majority of Conservative members who sit on this committee, who direct the activities of the committee. I can't be any more open than that, but I'm sure you can connect the dots.
Since there are no scheduled hearings on the Heartbleed vulnerability by one of the government operations oversight committees that you feel should be concerned about it, could you outline for the committee what departments and agencies and organizations with OpenSSL architecture were shut down while this vulnerability was being investigated? Can you inform the committee whether there are any investigations now under way concerning breaches of personal privacy that may have not yet led to arrest or conviction but are now under way as an investigation?
