Can I speak, Chair? Can you bring the member to order?
The Liberals want to praise the Prime Minister's public statement in the House even though this Liberal government has done nothing substantively to combat foreign interference.
Following the assassination of Mr. Nijjar, I submitted Order Paper Question No. 2488, regarding information-sharing between Canada and India. The government confirmed in response to that question that the information-sharing agreement signed by the Trudeau government is still operating and information continues to be shared.
I further asked in the same question if any information had been shared with the Government of India regarding Mr. Nijjar specifically, before or after his assassination. I said in the question: “was any information shared at any time between law enforcement or security agencies of Canada and India regarding Hardeep Singh Nijjar?”
The government refused to answer the question. They flat out refused to answer my question about whether intelligence was shared with the Government of India on Mr. Nijjar. One would think that if the answer had been no, they would have just given a no.
Mr. Singh, I want to bring you into this conversation. Do you think it is inconsistent for the Prime Minister and for Mr. Gaheer to make statements in the House on the one hand but refuse to answer questions about whether this Liberal government shared intelligence about Mr. Nijjar?
