It’s easy to blame rising associations, tighten procedures, and say you did a quiet internal investigation and were letting the situation play itself out knowing the individuals were compromised. I think you skate through a scandle like that.
The only possible good outcome is that there is a national security reason the liberals didn’t act. That there is some spycraft going on here. That would line up with the Americans comments on outcomes not being influenced. I doubt this is the case. There is probably just some blatant policy buying from companies within Canada for contracts using the same influence mechanism the Chinese were using.
So how does parliamentary procedure work here could the house walk out in protest forcing the liberals to have a unanimous vote themselves which would show the absurdity of the situation without backing the government then come back on the next opposition day a pass a motion to investigate.

Plus, so far we have seen that other parties are caught up in this as well.
Doug Ford's government hasn't come down because his party ran into this issue. The guy resigned and people moved on.
But what Trudeau is doing is very obviously just hiding something big.
Question now is, what power does the HoC have to deal with this?
