Mr. Speaker, when we stood up for Canadian jobs, Canadian oil producers and Canadian steel and aluminum workers, the Conservative Party called that dumb. We will always stand up and defend Canadian jobs, as we have in the past, as we create more opportunities for Canadians right across the country and as we protect our national security.
What the Americans will not understand is why the Leader of the Opposition, who desperately wants to become prime minister, refuses to get the necessary security clearances so he can keep his party safe.
