Mr. Speaker, almost two years ago, we found out that a number of countries, including China, Russia and India, are trying to interfere with Canada's democratic processes.
Last June, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians tabled a report alleging that certain parliamentarians are the targets of, or witting participants in, efforts by foreign governments to interfere in Canadian politics. These serious and disturbing allegations have cast a shadow over our democratic institutions.
Ever since then, all but one of the opposition leaders have obtained their security clearance so that they can take action on foreign interference within their party. The public inquiry into foreign interference clearly showed that each member of the House has a duty to fight foreign interference in our democracy.
I have an easy question for the leader of the Conservative Party. When is he going to get his security clearance, take his head out of the sand, and put the safety and security of Canadians ahead of his own partisan interests?
