Thanks, Chair.
Witnesses, thanks very much.
I want to put a couple things to bed here. There is zero information on IP or anything in any of these contracts. Is that correct? Any talk of “It's IP that we're going to lose because these are secrets” is misinformation. I'll take the lack of response to mean that I'm correct there.
I want to go back to what I was discussing earlier. I want to look at some of the comments from.... I assume you're all paid members of the various chambers that wrote to us. There's a comment here that 11 MPs in camera looking at these documents could hurt the business environment and stability in Canada. Another one says it could wreck our reputation as a reliable partner with which to do business or set “a worrisome precedent” for someone wanting to invest in Canada and that such a decision could erode investor confidence and have reputational consequences.
I want to get back to how many leaks of your contracts have come from Government of Canada procurement officials. Let's start with Pfizer and Moderna, because those are big ones we're dealing with.
