Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Xavier, during the Prime Minister's trip to China last week or about 10 days ago, journalists were asked not to bring their phone, but to use a temporary phone and throw it away afterwards to make sure it wouldn't be used.
When we parliamentarians travel, security checks are a given. Often, we are loaned another device to ensure that the foreign country cannot access our data and all the information we have access to as members of Parliament.
During that trip to China, an agreement was reached to import Chinese electric vehicles. I could pick up my parliamentary phone and connect to the Bluetooth network of a Chinese electric vehicle. Would you recommend I avoid doing so? Would I be putting Parliament's strategic data at risk for the benefit of the Chinese government?
