CDFB00078: 23 November 1979. House of Commons Debate.

MP Tom Cossitt raised a question during House of Commons debate regarding the nature of the “Featherbed file” pertaining to Canada's national security. In response, Solicitor General Allan Lawrence characterized it as targeting anyone in a high-level position within the Canadian government who was working for a foreign power against the Canadian government. Lawrence said the operation had not resulted in any concrete action and had been dormant for years.
