Thank you very much.
I'd be happy to address the point raised by Mr. Turnbull. To that end, the Leader of the Opposition has been very clear. He'll take the same brief that the Washington Post received, he'll take the same briefing that the Prime Minister has received, but what he will not do is get this clearance and then allow the Prime Minister to pick and choose which information is put before him, which may, in fact, be incomplete, which may not present the full picture, and then allow the Prime Minister to be an arbiter of whether he violated his oath of secrecy.
The Leader of the Opposition isn't going to play the Prime Minister's game. If the Prime Minister were serious, he would release the names of all of the MPs who have wittingly collaborated with the Beijing regime, but he won't do that because we know that they sit in his caucus.
We know that the Prime Minister covered up the fact that one of his candidates, the now member for Don Valley North, received the assistance of the Beijing regime to help him secure the Liberal Party nomination. CSIS was aware of Beijing's interference at the time of the nomination. CSIS briefed key officials, top Liberals, including Jeremy Broadhurst and the president of the Liberal Party of Canada. There were four top Liberals, all of whom had the appropriate security clearance to receive that briefing to inform them that, yes, the member for Don Valley North, the then Liberal candidate, had been assisted by the Beijing regime.
Jeremy Broadhurst thought it was serious enough that he briefed the Prime Minister the following day about that briefing. The Prime Minister, having been made aware that one of his candidates was being assisted by the Beijing regime, did nothing. He turned a blind eye to it. He covered it up and allowed that individual to stand for office and get elected and hoped that no one would find out.
Madam Justice Hogue, in her report, concluded that the Prime Minister's inaction with respect to the now member for Don Valley North, whom he had been briefed on, was due to his political concerns primarily. That is paraphrasing what Madam Justice concluded, that it was out of political motivation that the Prime Minister didn't act.
There you have it. Madam Justice Hogue, the commissioner of the public inquiry, found that the Prime Minister put his political interests and the interests of the Liberal Party ahead of national security and ahead of countering Beijing's interference in our democratic processes. That's the record of this Prime Minister.
It's also, by the way—with respect to the member for Don Valley North and security briefings—very interesting that the member was then tipped off that he was a target of CSIS.
That raises questions about who tipped him off. We know that four top Liberals received the briefing from CSIS and we know that the Prime Minister was informed by Mr. Broadhurst about the contents of that briefing.
The circle is actually quite small as to who may have tipped the member for Don Valley North off that he was a target of CSIS—
