Madam Speaker, allow me to be crystal clear: The current leader of the Conservative Party is abusing the power of Parliament. This is becoming very well established. He continues to refuse to get the security clearance, which is not in the best interest of Canadians, and it is unacceptable that he is putting his personal interests ahead of the interests of Canadians. The leader of the Conservative Party needs to step up to the plate and do the honourable thing: not only get the security clearance, but also stop the game he is playing. I would argue it is abuse of parliamentary privilege.
In the House of Commons on October 31st, 2024. See this statement in context.
