Mr. Speaker, the whole issue today is about how the Conservative Party, quite frankly, is using the House's authority to prevent the public safety committee from dealing with foreign interference, in regard to both India and Russia. I find that very shameful.
At the end of the day, the leader of the Conservative Party is hiding something. There is something he is not telling Canadians. I would like to see individuals like Patrick Brown appear before the public security committee. I know one of my colleagues has brought forward the suggestion that we have a summons issued for him.
Is this one of the reasons the Conservative Party today refuses to allow that standing committee to do the work necessary on foreign interference? Why are the Conservatives interfering, in the interest of their leader, to prevent Canadians from knowing what the Conservative Party is hiding?
What in the leader of the Conservative Party's background is causing him not to be able to get the security clearance?
What is the Conservative Party so afraid of? Is it that the leadership was influenced, that its own leader was involved in foreign interference?
