For the third time today, Mr. Speaker, in all the extensive security briefings I get, there was never any information given to me on candidates receiving money from China, so no. The reality is the integrity of our elections was not compromised. People do not have to take my word for it. They can look at the independent panel we appointed to look at just that, or the Elections Canada officer who said just yesterday that our elections were not compromised.

Mr. Speaker, the Chief Electoral Officer has said that there is no reason to believe that it was not a free and fair election. It is true that it is not his job to investigate such matters. That would be the responsibility of the non-partisan committee we created in 2019 to assess threats of electoral interference. That committee clearly established that the integrity of our elections was not compromised in 2019 or 2021. That is why I asked experts from our security intelligence services to appear before the committee and share any information they could regarding the elections.
