Thank you very much.
Mr. Chan, on January 30, 2021, Australia's treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, stated that Mr. Zuckerberg had called him and other Australian lawmakers to talk about the news media bargaining code.
Were you on those phone calls?

You therefore couldn't tell us what representations Mr. Zuckerberg made to Australian lawmakers. Is that correct?

I cannot tell you anything that was personally conveyed on either side.

I understand.
Mr. Frydenberg then stated, on February 18, that he had again been called by Mr. Zuckerberg on two consecutive days.
You weren't on those calls either, were you?

Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated, at the same time, that Facebook was making threats and that this was not a good way to deal with his government.
You would be unable to tell me if Mr. Zuckerberg made threats on phone calls with Mr. Frydenberg. Is that correct?

I would never characterize Facebook as making threats to anyone, sir.

That's a very good comment from any good Facebook employee, and I agree with you. I appreciate that. I won't characterize it that way either. I was just making the point that you weren't on the calls.
We've now established that many of the questions committee members have would be ones that Mr. Zuckerberg can answer but you cannot.
Mr. Chan, are you aware that this committee invited Mr. Zuckerberg to appear, and that when he declined our invitation, we adopted a motion to send him a summons?

I am aware, based on media reports, that this was done, yes.

Are you aware that Facebook's Canadian counsel responded to our clerk by saying that he was not authorized to accept a summons for Mr. Zuckerberg?

I was notified by counsel that this was the response.

Mr. Chan, I'm sure you're aware that Mr. Zuckerberg testified last week before a congressional subcommittee.
Do you know how many times in the last six months Mr. Zuckerberg has testified before congressional committees?
View Anthony Housefather Profile
Lib. (QC)
It's three, and he has testified before Congress seven times.
Mr. Chan, since Mr. Zuckerberg takes his responsibility to U.S. lawmakers so seriously, can you explain to us why he repeatedly refuses invitations, and indeed summonses, from Canadian parliamentary committees?
