Madam Speaker, I find it interesting that this member has such great trust and admiration for the Prime Minister.
The reality is that the Prime Minister does not actually have security clearance. He has it by nature of the position. He did not grant himself security clearance. The Prime Minister is able to declassify the information and release the 11 names; he could do that. Conservatives have made it very clear that we want the information made public so that Canadians can know.
When it comes to the cheap shots that the member often takes in this place, I would simply conclude by saying this: The names should be released so that Canadians can make the choice, as opposed to playing politics, which is what the Prime Minister and the soon-to-be former member for Timmins—James Bay are doing.
