Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister and officials.
Minister, we learned at the public inquiry on foreign interference that your cabinet colleague Bill Blair, while serving in your current role as Minister of Public Safety, sat on a CSIS warrant for 54 days. National security officials testified at the inquiry that such a warrant is typically signed off by the minister in only a handful of days. Suspiciously, the target of the warrant was none other than a former Ontario Liberal cabinet minister, and a key organizer and fundraiser for Justin Trudeau in the GTA.
Why did it take 54 days to sign the warrant?
