Mr. Speaker, I am confused about what happened. The Conservative Party used to be about the defence of Canada, but Conservatives dropped defence spending to below 1% last time they were in office. They are supposed to be about law and order, but they stand against stronger measures on gun control. They are supposed to be about national security, but the leader of the Conservative Party refuses to get the necessary security briefings to keep our democracy safe and to distinguish in the conspiracy theories that float around what is fact and what is fiction. Why will he not trust our national security agencies?
