A reminder that the Bloc also voted to suspend the hearing, and it is suspended to not interfere with the RCMP investigation

“Liberal, Bloc, NDP MPs suspend ArriveCan hearings after reading ‘scary’ secret report
Liberal, Bloc Québécois and NDP MPs suddenly suspended parliamentary hearings related to ArriveCan and contracting misconduct allegations Wednesday after reading what one Liberal described as a “scary” secret preliminary report by a federal investigator.
They say any further hearings could put at risk investigations by the Canada Border Services Agency, which produced the report, and the RCMP.”
Of course the Conservatives want to make this a political issue rather than a criminal one.
My stance: if the RCMP does not investigate or does not find any wrongdoing, then the committee should resume its investigation. This needs to be looked at seriously and urgently, but there is an order or operations here that must be followed (criminal then political, not the other way around)

It is a political issue as well as a criminal one. Testimony in committees is key.
Also its hard to trust the CBSA to do an investigation when the President talks about missing documents, its hard to trust the government when the head IT guy deletes 1200 email. Its really hard to trust the RCMP when the PMO shut down their investigation into SNC Lavelin.
Its really hard to trust anything that's being investigated in the shadows anymore with this government. There are too many jaw dropping and scary reports.
This whole shutting down the committee til these investigations happen sounds like a ragging the puck til people forget about it moment.
