A senior official who received a memo on Chinese regime threats to MPs told a committee that the transmission of information had functioned as expected and that the report did not warrant being shared immediately with the prime minister.

“I would submit that the system did function according to the protocols that were in place back in 2021,” said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison as he testified before the House of Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) on June 13.
