Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Conservative Party today was the parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who was the only prime minister in the Commonwealth who has actually been held in contempt of Parliament.
Fast-forward to today, and we have the leader of the Conservative Party continue to filibuster a motion that all other opposition parties and the government want to see come to a vote. This is nothing but a game to the Conservative Party of Canada. Conservatives know that, but they refuse to focus on the real issues.
I have raised the issue of why the leader of the Conservative Party has put his party ahead of the interests of the nation by not getting a security clearance. I am wondering if this member could provide his thoughts as to why the leader of the Conservative Party today refuses to join the other leaders in this chamber in getting a security clearance, so he is better able to deal with the issue of foreign interference. Can he justify that?
