Mr. Speaker, for weeks we have asked the solicitor general for information related to people arrested and possible terrorist activity in Canada and in the United States. We have asked this to protect Canadian citizens. For weeks the solicitor general has scorned us and has said that he cannot talk publicly about this because it could put people at risk.
Yesterday, in front of the entire world, he announced that CSIS has given important information to the United States. There is no problem with it giving the U.S. information, but he announced an ongoing operation publicly.
Does the Prime Minister think it is appropriate for the solicitor general to be standing out in public giving public information about ongoing CSIS operations?
