Madam Speaker, the government is being asked to gather information and hand it directly over to the RCMP. However, the RCMP has said that it does not like the Conservative tactic. The Office of the Auditor General of Canada has said that it does not like the tactic. The former law clerk of the House of Commons has said that he does not support the tactic. There is a genuine lack of respect for these institutions that is being driven by the leader of the Conservative Party.
However, whether it is those institutions or the issue of the security clearance, members of the Conservative Party caucus collectively put their head in the sand and ignore what Canadians have a right to know. Again, we have experts saying that the leader of the Conservative Party should get the security clearance. Why will those in the Conservative Party not be honest with Canadians and tell us why their leader would not qualify for security clearance, as I am beginning to believe is the real reason?
