Madam Speaker, I have immense respect for the member opposite. He has the capacity to disagree without being disagreeable, unlike many of his Conservative colleagues, who continuously go to the bottom of the gutter and to ad hominems.
I am really here to ask the question I just asked his colleague, who could not answer it and evaded the question. I want no evasion in the answer the member opposite will be providing. Why will his leader not become security cleared?
The member opposite has stood in Parliament on the issue of foreign interference. Each and every Canadian, each and every representative in the House, should be ready to be security cleared. Why is the member of the party opposite not willing to do so, especially if he is looking to protect the privileges of the House? I do not get it.
