Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister of this country could release the names so that Canadians could know and make that decision for themselves. Instead of doing what is in the best interests of national security and democracy, the Prime Minister has decided that he will prioritize his own political self-interest.
I would say specifically to the member, who highlighted a significant issue, that I am curious about what his constituents think of the parliamentary secretary denying the unanimous consent motion that was put forward on Monday. It was about the standing up of a special committee to investigate the very issue that he claims is so important. It was not a Conservative who denied that, a member of the Bloc or a member of the NDP. It was not an independent member. It was the parliamentary secretary, I believe, to the Prime Minister or to the House leader. Members will have to forgive me; I do not recall. He is up so often that it is easy to forget.
The fact is that a senior Liberal in his own party denied a unanimous consent motion to stand up a committee that would have gotten the answers he just communicated are so important. Has the member heard that from constituents?
