Mr. Speaker, operation sidewinder was a joint RCMP-CSIS task force that laid out in great detail how Asian crime gangs and Chinese spy agencies were infiltrating Canada.
Yesterday the parliamentary secretary claimed that operation sidewinder had not been shut down. In fact it was shut down in 1997.
Why is there so little concern about national security on that side of the House that the parliamentary secretary would not even be briefed with information about operation sidewinder?
