Mr. Speaker, allegations of Indian foreign interference in Conservative leadership races are alarming, but they are not new. They were highlighted in the NSICOP report, and they were highlighted by the public inquiry into foreign interference in federal electoral processes and democratic institutions, yet the Conservative leader refuses to get the top secret clearance necessary so he can be fully briefed upon threats to his party, his colleagues and our democracy. It is inexplicable to the vast number of Canadians why he refuses to take the top secret briefings that would keep Canada safe.
In the House of Commons on December 4th, 2024. See this statement in context.
