Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I do believe that the public safety committee of Canada is a long-standing committee and that its responsibility, among many, is to ensure the public safety of Canadians. We do believe that this a national security issue. This is well within the scope of this committee. I do believe it is a duty of ours to indicate to the government that there has been enough waiting. It is time for a decision. Canadians want a decision. They have been promised a decision. The telecommunications companies would like a decision. Again, this government has been in power for six years, and they have been promising a decision for three of them.
Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S. have all moved forward in the last number of years and made decisions. There is no reason we cannot do the same for Canadians. Again, I think that this Liberal government has been marked with indecision and blaming former governments. Ultimately, the decision remains with them. They promised to deliver it, and I do believe it is the duty of the public safety committee of Canada to ensure the safety of Canadians. That includes our telecommunications security.
Thank you.
