Mr. Speaker, that absolutely does not make any sense because, when the RCMP discussed this issue with all Canadians on Monday, the Leader of the Opposition received a briefing from Nathalie Drouin, national security and intelligence adviser to the Prime Minister, the deputy minister of foreign affairs at Global Affairs Canada and the director of CSIS. All of them gave the Leader of the Opposition a briefing on this issue.
The only difference is that the Leader of the Opposition is the only leader who will not be gagged by the Prime Minister by taking that oath. The job of the Leader of the Opposition is to hold the government to account, and if he were to take that oath, he would not be able to do that.
