Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Morrison, you say it's not abnormal for foreign states to be commenting on Canadian citizens. In this particular case, we have evidence in a memo of a diplomat threatening a sitting member of Parliament because of his doing his job of speaking on behalf of his constituents, and threatening to sanction his family. For you to suggest or dismiss it as just a foreign state talking about someone in some way that shouldn't have raised alarm bells is completely unacceptable and really undermines your credibility.
You said that the system functioned properly. I want to go back to that point.
The system functioned properly, even though a sitting member of Parliament, Mr. Chong, was not briefed. The system functioned properly even though that information you sat on resulted in a Beijing diplomat being able to stay in Canada for two more years to harass and intimidate Chinese Canadians. However, you say, sir, through you, Madam Chair, that is a case of the system working properly.
Also, Mr. Morrison, you sat on that memo, which contained information that has resulted in the expulsion of a diplomat, Mr. Zhao Wei. Do you support the decision to expel Mr. Zhao Wei?
