Madam Speaker, ironically, the member said “ducking” and “diving” and that members should answer questions. I asked him a question and he did not even answer it.
Let me be more crystal clear for the member. Foreign interference is a very serious issue in Canada. All political leaders except his leader, the leader of the Conservative Party, have gotten their security clearance. There have been recommendations from legal experts, who have said he should be getting a security clearance. Others are saying the rationale the Conservatives are using is absolute nonsense.
Will the member stop ducking and diving and actually answer the question that has been posed to him? Why is the leader of the Conservative Party not getting a security clearance? Do not give us a bogus answer that does not fly and has already been discredited.
