The issue here is that there's new information that's evolving all the time that we want to be reactive to and ask questions about. Conservatives have some information now that they're reacting to because they want to be able to ask questions about this, but there are new details that are emerging every day.
For example, I will read to you from Sam Cooper, someone whom the Conservatives are really big fans of in terms of his reporting. This is what he reported yesterday:
In explosive testimony before the Hogue Commission, former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole revealed serious concerns about a Conservative Senator allegedly promoting the interests of a Chinese state-owned enterprise in Ontario.
O'Toole said a sitting MP had alerted him about the Senator’s lobbying for an economic interest linked to China, sparking concerns about potential foreign interference. O'Toole testified that he considered removing the Senator from caucus but faced significant challenges....
Later on, Mr. Cooper goes on to report:
A classified source has also alleged to The Bureau that the Senator in question was assessed by CSIS as a key actor in a Chinese election-interference network in Toronto, which allegedly implicated at least 11 federal candidates from both major parties in the 2019 election.
My point here is that, yes, I have a lot of questions too. I have questions about this. I don't want to jump the gun by calling the minister here when more information could come out. Hogue has to finish her work and the work is due by the end of this year. A lot more information could come forward, potentially explosive information like this, which I, too, would have questions about.
Do we want to call the minister here every time something like this comes to light, or do we want to let Hogue finish the work, let all of the details come to light and then have a conversation about it? I think the latter is the more appropriate way to do it. Let's get all the information so that everything can come to light before jumping the gun and calling the minister here to answer for a piece of testimony that happened to be heard on one day. As I just indicated, there's a lot of testimony, and I believe there's a lot more to come that we're going to learn about.
