Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's good to see you, Minister LeBlanc. I want to thank you and all the officials present for all you do to keep us safe and to keep our country safe. Thanks for being with us today.
Minister, it has been suggested by the Leader of the Opposition that obtaining a security clearance and getting briefed on possible foreign interference would muzzle him. I wonder if you would just share with us and those who are watching today why this is important for the Leader of the Opposition's party and for his MPs, particularly in light of the significant foreign interference that we are seeing going on in our country.
