Mr. Speaker, the public safety minister has reached the startling conclusion that there may be more Chinese police stations operating in Canada, not that he would inform the House, having decided to share this stunning revelation of the obvious with CTV last weekend. Does the government have a particular number of stations in mind before it takes the matter seriously? How much longer does the RCMP now need to complete an investigation into what is already known? In case they missed it on TV, do they even know about the other stations? Is there a threshold for the number of Chinese Canadians who must be intimidated before the government acts?

Mr. Speaker, we take all threats from Russia, China and other foreign actors very seriously. As the hon. member knows, the investigation of these Chinese police stations is being conducted by the RCMP, and the RCMP will continue to conduct investigations as information comes forward. Canadians can be assured not only that we are taking this seriously, but that they are safe here in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, during question period, the hon. member for Fundy Royal was asking a question of the justice minister, and the member for York South—Weston said that is a lie. This, of course, is unacceptable and unparliamentary. I believe if you consult Hansard, you will find that they did in fact capture it being said and that if you give the member for York South—Weston the opportunity now, he will, of course, rise and apologize for this unacceptable and unparliamentary comment made to the hon. member for Fundy Royal.

Mr. Speaker, after five weeks here in Ottawa, I am excited that next week we will be back in our ridings. I am excited to get to the riding of Waterloo, and I know constituents have been waiting for these two reports. I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the following two reports of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs: the 39th report, entitled “Report on the Report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Quebec, 2022”, and the 40th report, entitled “Report on the Report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Alberta, 2022”. I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the 41st report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. The committee advises that, pursuant to Standing Order 91.1(2), the Subcommittee on Private Members' Business met to consider orders for the second reading of private members' public bills originating in the Senate, and recommended that the items listed in the report, which it has determined should not be designated non-votable, be considered by the House.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of the Conservative members of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs to table two dissenting reports in response to the main reports of the committee in respect of the reports of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the provinces of Quebec and Alberta. The Conservative members support the work of the commissions and appreciate their efforts to engage in significant consultations in reaching their final reports. However, we respectfully request that the committees respectively and favourably view the objections of the members for Yellowhead, Grande Prairie—Mackenzie and Peace River—Westlock, as well as the objections of the members for Mégantic—L'Érable and Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the third interim report of the Special Committee on the Canada-People's Republic of China Relationship, entitled “A Threat to Canadian Sovereignty: National Security Dimensions of the Canada-People’s Republic of China Relationship”. This reflects work that the committee has undertaken since 2020, and it strongly distinguishes between the Chinese Communist government and the Chinese people on the mainland, the diaspora here in Canada and ethnic Chinese residents in Canada. Our 34 recommendations should inform ongoing discussions on foreign interference. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
