Mr. Speaker, I want to applaud our co-deputy leader, the member of Parliament for Thornhill, for her speech and also for her advocacy. She touched on a topic that a lot of Canadians are talking about, which is how divisive the Prime Minister is. He is pitting either one community against another or Canadians against each other. It always benefits him for there to be a distraction from his own failures. In this case it is his failure on foreign interference.
We hear the Liberals keep saying they cannot release the names, but it is actually the CSIS Act itself that says it allows the government to offer information to any Canadian about specific risks of foreign interference without forcing them into sworn secrecy or controlling what they say.
Our leader is a Canadian, and he is 10 steps away from the Prime Minister. What is possibly stopping the Prime Minister from walking 10 steps this way? He was grandstanding and distracting at the Hogue commission, and he laid down baseless allegations against the Conservative Party. He even named his own party and implicated its members. What is stopping him from walking 10 steps over this way and just releasing the names to our common-sense Conservative leader, the next Prime Minister of Canada?
