Mr. Speaker, watchers of Canadian politics will remember that last year, Conservative Party members got up pretty much every time they could to talk about national security, to talk about it in a partisan way but to talk about it every chance they could get. Now that we have offered the Leader of the Opposition a security clearance so he can be fully informed on national security, all they have been able to do is to make political attacks and ask questions of other parties.
Why has the Leader of the Opposition chosen to not get a security clearance when the safety of his own MPs is in the balance?
