Mr. Speaker, by now we all know that Conservatives prefer to ignore the truth and spread fear, so it should come as no surprise to any of us that the Conservative leader continues to refuse to get top secret security clearance and a briefing by intelligence officials. He prefers to speculate on what could be true and claims that learning the truth would prevent him from speaking on the topic. Is it because he has problems with the truth? Is he not able to tell the truth? Maybe he is afraid of the ugly truth that he could learn about his own party and about his own leadership race.
Canadians should be alarmed that the Leader of the Opposition continues to ignore the risks to our national security within his own party. We all want to know what he is trying to hide.
