Mr. Speaker, this week we have learned more about the reports of alleged foreign interference in the Conservative leadership race. Party leaders for the Bloc, the NDP and the Green Party have taken the government up on its offer to get a security clearance. However, the leader of the Conservative Party still refuses to get the security clearance and to access classified documents that would help him protect the party and Canadians from foreign interference. This is not real leadership. Canadians are wondering what the Conservative Party leader has to hide. If he had nothing to hide, he would get the clearance, take the briefing and protect the country.
In the House of Commons on December 5th, 2024. See this statement in context.
