Madam Chair—
Minister, I asked you a very specific question.
When the Minister of Foreign Affairs last appeared before this committee a month ago, on the question put to her about expelling Beijing diplomats, she replied, “Everything that is linked to foreign actions in Canada is under the purview of my colleague, the Minister of Public Safety.”
In other words, she seeks your advice on the question of expelling Beijing diplomats. Canadians deserve to know, in the face of interference—a vast campaign of interference in two federal elections, and police stations being discovered, it seems, on an almost weekly basis—why no action has been taken to expel the very diplomats involved in these activities.
