Mr. Speaker, that is a very important question that Canadians are asking at this important time. They are wondering why someone who hopes to be the future prime minister of this country would not want a security clearance. As I said, four of the five leaders in the House of Commons either have had a security clearance or have applied to get one. He is the only leader in the House who does not want to get one, because he does not want to know the truth. I am not sure what he is trying to hide, but he clearly does not want to know the truth.
In the House of Commons on October 21st, 2024. See this statement in context.
