Liberals ask Federal Court to keep documents on fired scientists under wraps

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a debate in the House of Commons, in Ottawa on June 1, 2021.The Liberal government is asking the Federal Court to prohibit disclosure of documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s highest-security laboratory.

Court records say Stewart advised the attorney general Sunday in a notice under the Canada Evidence Act that sensitive or potentially injurious information would be disclosed should the documents be given to the committee.After considering the notice, the attorney general filed an application in Federal Court requesting an order confirming the documents should remain under wraps.

The filing, which says a public hearing may be necessary, names Rota as the respondent in the matter. The next steps must be decided by the Federal Court judge assigned to the case, it adds. They are also seeking documents related to the transfer, overseen by Qiu, of deadly Ebola and Henipah viruses to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in March 2019.

Too much incriminating evidence in them

Unless you have all the information you dont know what Security or other concerns the information holds. Let it play out in court.

Why?

Of course they do

That is not part of the mandate of the jurisdictional arm to comply with requests made by a minority government.

Sounds like the Liberal gov’t is trying to run out the clock for the summer session. “Opposition MPs urged Rota to rule immediately on question of privilege. But Rota refused to be rushed. He said he wants to give a well thought-out ruling but hasn’t had the time or resources

what is in the documents Trudeau doesn't want to see light? What happened in the Winnipeg lab? Why were the two scientists fired? releasethedocuments

Why JustinTrudeau does not deserve to be Canada's Prime Minister via YouTube

So much foropen and transparent govt sock boy promised, but the biggest hypocrites in Canada wrap themselves in the liberal blanket. Say it with me LiberalHypocrisy

Probably cause they are scared those documents may expose the scientists and link them back to China and the virus.

Hiding their failures

Secrets, so many Liberalsecrets LiberalScandal

Not what we pay taxes for. Transparency is a farce with this horrific government.

This move should be concerning to all Canadians regardless of political affiliation.

Elected on promises to be transparent

I've lost count of the amount of time Trudeau and his ministers have answered questions with 'we do not get involved with matters of the court'

. Dealing with China is very difficult as there is no reasonable way to converse with a nonsensical bully who just want their ways. Similar to talking to Trump and his anti-globalist buffoons. Chinese just copy their hero Trump making diplomacy difficult as they have strength .

Going to show China pulles wool over his eyes again or worse
