Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Through you, Madam Chair, Ms. Denham, you stated in an answer to my question in the previous round that part of the mandate of RRM is to make disinformation public so that Canadians know about it and individuals targeted know about it. Consistent with that, MP Chong was briefed, and a statement was issued by Global Affairs Canada on August 9. That's a good thing.
However, on October 18, 2021, the rapid response mechanism prepared a report that also identified a disinformation campaign through Beijing-based state media accounts targeting former members of Parliament Kenny Chiu and Erin O'Toole and the Conservative Party, among others. That was not made public.
Why was the disinformation with respect to MP Chong made public a good thing, but Canadians were kept in the dark with regard to the October 18, 2021, RRM report?
