Mr. Speaker, I know the member is new to the House, and I want to welcome him here. What a terrible example we are showing a new member of this House by tying up the House and our government, which has been going on for six weeks now.
The other terrible example that we are showing him is this: Are the members on that side allowed to speak up? We just went through the housing accelerator program. The Leader of the Opposition has told his MPs that they cannot advocate for it. Clearly, there are some across the aisle here who advocated for it, some who did not and some who wanted to but cannot say anything about it. Again, what a terrible example we are giving.
One thing I want to hone in on is what the member for Kingston and the Islands talked about when presenting his petition, which was that the leader of the Conservative Party will not get his security clearance. He has painted himself into a corner. We know that. If any one thing is growing across this country, it is the concern about the leader not getting his security clearance.
I would ask the member opposite to please talk to his leader and give him some advice about getting his security clearance so we can move on and he can protect Canadians and his party.
