Madam Speaker, since the subject of foreign interference was already broached, I want to challenge my friend from Foothills on this point. I serve on the public safety committee. I have had the chance to directly question the current director of CSIS. Former directors of CSIS, former executives of CSIS and, in fact, every major person of note who is part of our national security and intelligence community say, without equivocation, that there is no justifiable reason for the Leader of the Opposition to continue not getting the security clearance.
This is not about naming names. It is about actions. They have all said it is about actions that a leader can take within their caucus, so again, I would like to challenge my friend. Does he think he knows better than current members of CSIS? Does his leader know better than current members of CSIS? I would challenge him to make that claim here on the floor of the House of Commons.
