Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister claims that his government has nothing to do with security for a state visit in this chamber but this is the agreement that his office signed with the RCMP. It states that the RCMP will lead integrated security operations throughout the parliamentary precinct and on the grounds of Parliament Hill.
His police agency, which reports to his public safety minister, is responsible for the security and, therefore by necessity, the vetting of anyone who comes within just 10 or 20 feet of a foreign head of state who is an obvious target of assassination.
Will the Prime Minister take responsibility for this massive security and diplomatic meltdown that happened under his watch?
