Madam Speaker, it is abundantly clear that the Conservatives' intention is to hijack the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security's agenda, either with this motion or another one. Every time our committee meets, they move that we talk about something other than the two studies on the agenda, namely Russian disinformation in Canada and Indian interference or India-Canada relations. I am having a hard time understanding why the Conservative Party does not want to discuss these issues.
At the same time, it is becoming a partisan sideshow when it really should not be. Foreign interference is an extremely serious issue for our democratic institutions, particularly since an election is imminent. We do not want to go through the same thing as last time. I get the feeling that this is giving the Liberals the opportunity to repeat ad nauseam that the leader of the Conservative Party still does not have his security clearance. Unfortunately, the two parties are turning this into a partisan sideshow that I do not want to be a part of.
