Liberal, NDP, and Bloc Quebecois MPs suspended committee hearings on the ArriveCan application on Feb. 7, arguing that after having read a confidential report by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on the app, further hearings could put at risk current CBSA and RCMP investigations into the scandal.

“We’re doing a disservice to justice. And I’m being very, very serious about this. I’m not a lawyer, okay, but what I read; it’s scary,” Liberal MP Majid Jowhari said about a preliminary statement of facts MPs on the committee obtained from the CBSA.
