There is no way to explain the government having the information and doing nothing about it.
It's really inexplicable, and that's why I think the committee really needs to get to the bottom of where these CSIS intelligence products went by looking at their tracking records on the top secret system. This is a system separate from the Government of Canada's regular computer systems that CSIS uses to transmit intelligence products to what I believe are the 17 national security points within the Government of Canada, one of which includes Global Affairs Canada. They also include the Privy Council Office and the other various central agencies and departments.
I think it's really important for the committee to understand where this information went within the Government of Canada so that these systemic problems can be addressed, because if we are to take the Prime Minister at his word that he did not know of this information, nor did the public safety minister, then clearly there was a breakdown. We need to know exactly who had the information and why it didn't go to where it needed to go for action.
