Madam Speaker, my Conservative colleague raises an important point about confidence. Confidence also means the confidence that people have in institutions. In light of the legitimate fears of potential foreign political interference, how is it that every federal party leader here in the House has received their security clearance to find out what is going on with their party and their caucus and the only one who refuses to do so is the leader of the Conservative Party? How can someone who wants to become prime minister choose ignorance over knowledge?
