Minister, you mentioned officials. I will say that, in the unclassified document this committee has received from Transport Canada, Transport Canada warned, “There have been media reports of surveillance technology embedded [in] equipment...port cranes and drones”, raising concerns about hidden sensors and data-harvesting technologies in foreign-manufactured transportation assets.
Given this, what specific national security assessment has Public Safety conducted to rule out embedded surveillance, hardware or software in ferries that are being built in China?
