Thank you very much, Madam Clerk, for that answer.
Let me just say that it is completely unacceptable that the government is withholding documents, a substantial number of documents apparently, from this committee three months after they were ordered to produce them. They had a deadline of August 9.
Therefore, I'm going to move the following motion:
That, in relation to its Order of Reference of Thursday, May 9, 2024, regarding the prima facie contempt concerning the People’s Republic of China’s cyber attack against members of Parliament, the Committee: a) make the following interim report to the House: “Your committee wishes to express its displeasure with the refusals to give evidence by the Minister of National Defence and his predecessors, the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Emergency Preparedness, and the President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Transport, who each held responsibility for the Communications Security Establishment at times material to the question of privilege which the House referred to your committee on Thursday, May 9, 2024, concerning the People’s Republic of China’s cyber attack against members of Parliament.”
