Thank you for that.
While I completely agree with Mr. McKay that we need to look at solutions to ensure that what happened doesn't happen again, there does have to be some level of accountability. To that end, the government has essentially washed its hands clean insofar as they have tried to place the blame squarely on House of Commons administration.
Then, when we begin to probe House of Commons administration, it seems to have fallen all on House of Commons IT, yet 35 Government of Canada clients, including likely the Prime Minister's department, the PCO, were briefed in November 2021. That's more than a year and a half before you were finally briefed, thanks to the FBI.
Again, the notion that it should be left to IT services, which was dealing with the technical matter of ensuring the integrity of IT systems in the House of Commons, to inform members of Parliament seems to be completely untenable. Wouldn't you agree?
Shouldn't there be some level of responsibility if, in fact, the PCO and the national security and intelligence adviser were informed in November 2021 and said nothing and did nothing for a year and a half, and would not have done anything but for the FBI?
