Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the member for his thoughts in more detail about why the government has failed to enact the foreign registry. The government outlined during debates in the last Parliament that it was an important and necessary tool. It was partly in response to the Hogue commission, yet here we are. On three or four occasions, the government changed the timeline. Why is it being so slow to act on something that is so important?
I also mention this in the context of the new security agreement the government just signed with China. How can we, as parliamentarians, be confident in the approach taken with a foreign government that the Hogue commission outlined as the greatest threat to Canadian democracy and with the new security agreement, when the government has not not enacted the foreign registry to date?
