8/ L’incident du ballon du week-end dernier montre que le gouv. Trudeau doit agir rapidement.

Publier un arrêté ministériel ordonnant aux conseils subventionnaires d’interdire le financement de la recherche avec les militaires de Beijing.

Notre sécurité nationale est en jeu.

1/ The U.S. Department of State has confirmed that the balloon that drifted over Canada and the US last weekend is a military one belonging to the People’s Liberation Army.

#cdnpoli
2/ “The agency said the U.S. government was ‘confident’ that the company that made the balloon had direct commercial ties with the People’s Liberation Army, the Chinese military, citing an official procurement portal for the army.”

1/ The Trudeau government is asleep at the switch on national security.

I’ve lost confidence in this government’s ability to protect Canada’s national security.

2/ The government gave a contract for RCMP telecom equipment to Sinclair Technologies, which is owned by Chinese firm Hytera.

Hytera is party owned by the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Hytera answers to the PRC.

Hytera must help the PRC gather intelligence data.

#cdnpoli
3/ Article 7 of the PRC’s 2017 National Intelligence Law says that companies like Hytera must,

“support, co-operate with and collaborate in national intelligence work, and guard the secrecy of national intelligence work they are aware of.”

1/ The Liberal gov’t says handing over the Winnipeg lab docs to Parliament would undermine national security.

This is the world turned upside down. The opposite is true.

It’s the government that’s undermined national security - not Parliament.

#cdnpoli

2/ Here follows some of the recent security breaches, leaks and lapses by the government - and these are just some of many:

#cdnpoli
3/ In Oct., the government leaked the names of several hundred vulnerable Afghans seeking refuge from the Taliban, putting their lives at risk.

These Afghans helped Canadian soldiers during the war & are being targeted & executed by the Taliban.

1/ Where Did the Coronavirus Come From? What We Already Know Is Troubling.

Zeynep Tufekci, The New York Times

2/ “Nearly every SARS case since the original epidemic has been due to lab leaks — six incidents in three countries, including twice in a single month from a lab in Beijing. In one instance, the mother of a lab worker died.”
3/ “In 2007, foot-and-mouth disease, which can devastate livestock and caused a massive crisis in Britain in 2001, escaped from a drainage pipe leak at an English lab with the highest biosafety rating, BSL-4.”

1/ The House of Commons and its committee ordered the Trudeau government, four separate times, to hand over documents related to breaches at its Winnipeg lab.

These orders come from powers granted to the House of Commons under Section 18 of the Constitution Act, 1867.

#cdnpoli
2/ On June 16th, House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota ruled on this matter.

His ruling made clear that Section 18 of the Constitution Act, 1867 gives the House of Commons the power to order the government to hand over the Winnipeg lab docs.

#cdnpoli

3/ The government has disobeyed these four orders, and is now going to extraordinary lengths to cover things up by going to the Federal Court to prevent the release of the documents.

1/ Thread.

Here's why the Prime Minister is wrong when he says the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) is the right place to review the breaches of national security at the government's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

#cdnpoli
2/ NSICOP was created by Bill C-22 in the 42nd Parliament.

Unlike the UK's Intelligence and Security Committee, it's not a committee of parliament, but a committee of parliamentarians. In fact, it's a committee of the executive branch and accountable to the PM.

#cdnpoli
3/ Committee members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Prime Minister, including the chair.

In other words, the PM can hire and fire NSICOP members at will - they work for him.

It's written right into the Act.
