Mr. Speaker, four out of the five leaders represented in this very chamber have either received their security clearance or are in the process of doing so. There is only one party leader in this chamber who chooses to close his eyes and remain oblivious to foreign interference, refusing to get a security clearance, and that is the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
The Conservative leader across the way is hiding something. What is he hiding, and what exactly is stopping him from getting his security clearance at a time when we are facing serious foreign interference in communities across Canada?
Yesterday a motion was presented in the House that calls for all party leaders to take necessary actions to protect Canadians from foreign interference. It calls for all federal party leaders to get their appropriate security clearance in the next 30 days. Can we guess what? Conservative members said no to this.
When will the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada wake up, get his clearance and start standing with Canadians against foreign interference?
