Madam Speaker, this is how this actually rolled out. The member entered the House and made the comment himself that he had said no to the NDP request to have all leaders of the House of Commons get the security clearance. He was very proud to say that he had said no. Then, in his answer to the question of my colleague, he said that my colleague had said no first. No, he did not, and that is not the way it worked out.
After the member said no to the NDP, we heard another motion, brought forward by his own political party, stating that the Liberals should release the names. There is a short answer to this. If the leader were to get the security clearance that every other leader in the House of Commons has, then he could get the names. However, he has chosen not to do that.
What is it that Canadians do not know about the history or the background of the leader of the Conservative Party that is causing him to not get the clearance? Did he do something illegal? Is that the reason he is not getting the clearance?
