Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In light of the witness's continued refusal to answer questions of a House of Commons standing committee, I believe it's time for me to move a motion that would authorize you, as our chair, to refer this back to the House of Commons, clearly indicating that we have a witness who is in contempt. Being in contempt of Parliament means that she is willfully obstructing our work into a very serious matter.
We've given her multiple opportunities. She was warned of the consequences that this could be escalated. Given that committees by themselves can't take action, I do believe that this is a matter that needs to be referred back to the House. We can ask the Speaker to take the appropriate actions with Ms. Chen's continued obstruction.
