Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's work on the private member's bill. I would like to ask the member, though it is pretty easy to always make it someone else's issue, if it is important, when it comes to the sovereignty of our country and defending Canadians' rights and freedoms and their ability to exist in our country, that all parties take this work seriously. I believe that we are Canadians first. I was born and raised in the Waterloo region. I did not choose to be born there or to be Canadian. I did choose my political party, but today we are talking about the loss of a Canadian.
Does everyone have a responsibility, and can the hon. member please confirm why his leader chooses not to get his security clearance?
