Mr. Speaker, we are talking today about a privilege motion, and we are talking about documents that should be provided, as the Speaker has ruled, to the procedure and House affairs committee. I do not believe that there are any members of the House who disagree that we need to call the question and let PROC do its work so we can get to the bottom of the issue.
The Conservatives talk about wanting the documents, wanting access to the information, yet their leader refuses to apply for security clearance. God forbid that the leader of the Conservative Party should become the prime minister of Canada, as he will automatically get the clearance, but today he knows that if he applied for it he would not qualify for it.
What I find interesting is that the government has shared that fewer than 15% of Conservative members are concerned about housing in their communities. Fewer than 15% of Conservative members have supported their municipalities by asking the Minister of Housing to provide support for them. The member is upset that we are sharing that there are 18 Conservative members who care about their communities and care about their housing, yet the question of privilege is entirely about access to documents.
When we give Conservatives information, they do not want it. On the information they have access to, their leader does not want to apply for the security clearance. Therefore what do they do? They attack Canadians.
A Canadian was killed on Canadian soil. The Conservative leader refuses to get his clearance. What do Conservatives do? They attack Sikhs and Hindus in Canada by cancelling Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas. They attack the government by questioning what the intelligence evidence is. The RCMP says that it does exist. I would ask the member this: If the Conservatives want access to the information, why is his leader not applying for a security clearance?
