Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. We know that the diaspora communities have been ringing this alarm for quite a while. I think that is one thing I find frustrating about this process. We did have people saying very clearly that there are issues happening and that we should all be aware of them. You

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. This will be my final round with you, Mr. Morrison, so I thank you for your time with us today. Something has been niggling in the back of my mind as we have asked you questions. One of the things I remember your saying is that when you receive the int

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. I do want to come back to the follow-up piece to the report that you've talked about. You've indicated that you can't give us the memo about it, but you have brought it up several times. What can you tell us, and in what context did you send it?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Speaking of foreign interference, we know that one of the challenges is that when we have people in Canada who have loved ones in these authoritarian countries, sometimes what they are asked to do is impacted by what could happen in other countries. We know we don't have jurisdic

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I think my time is up, so thank you so much.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. I'm going to follow up. I think you clarified what you said, which is basically that the function of the protocols that were in place in 2021 were followed. To me, that lets us know that there was a problem with the protocols. That is an opinion that I

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. Thank you to Mr. Morrison for being here today to testify. The first question I'm going to ask is just a clarifying one. I think what I heard you say was that you were the temporary NSIA for what you thought was going to be six weeks and it became six

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. That is interesting in itself. Those are two very important jobs. It's too bad that somebody didn't see that maybe that was too much for one human being. I have another question. During this time when you were the acting NSIA, you said that the report came to you an

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. We can argue about whether the action was appropriate from our opinions, but it is alarming to me that we have multiple MPs who were targeted and they just didn't know. That's concerning. You said that Mr. Chong was provided a defensive briefing, but I want

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. My next question returns back to the diaspora communities. We know there's often a level of distrust, especially for newcomers who come to Canada from some of these targeted countries with authoritarian governments. I'm curious if there are strategies

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you for that. I'm definitely not asking for details; I'm really interested in the process. I think, as parliamentarians, our job is to best understand the process and to understand where gaps are so that we can make recommendations that help us move forward. It's very cle

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. We've had diaspora community members testify that, when they bring forward concerns about issues of foreign interference and about how they're being targeted, they're not really getting the assistance they perceive that they need. I think that's really important. I kn

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Madam Chair. I thank our witnesses for being here today and for their testimony. My first question is this. Just out of curiosity, we are talking about a matter of privilege, one in which MPs are being targeted. As the RCMP proceed with their investigation ab

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I am.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you so much, Chair. I thank Mr. Cooper for bringing this forward. I am going to offer an amendment to remove paragraph c. I'm not averse to having the conversation, but I'm not prepared to make that decision. I know that the people in paragraph c are not receiving any com
