Madam Speaker, I appreciate the question from the parliamentary secretary. He has posed it in two ways. The first one is in regard to the process that we are witnessing. People following the debate need to understand that we are debating a motion that the Conservatives introduced, which takes the issue and says it should be dealt with at PROC, yet they have now put up literally hundreds of speeches, not interventions. The member opposite made reference to me, in terms of interventions. They have actually put up hundreds of speeches on the issue.
By doing that, they are preventing the House from being able to deal with a wide spectrum of issues. One of those issues that the members make reference to is the issue of foreign interference. He posed the other question in regard to why it is that the leader of the official opposition has not agreed to get the security clearance. I personally believe that it is because he has something that he is hiding from his past. He is scared that by getting that security clearance, Canadians will find that out. We need to find that out.
