Mr. Speaker, the integrity of our elections has not been compromised. In January 2019, we established a non-partisan committee to assess potential threats of election interference, and that committee clearly determined that the integrity of our elections was not compromised in 2019 or 2021. In addition, the Chief Electoral Officer stated yesterday that there was no reason to believe that it was not a free and fair election. Instead of making Canadians needlessly worry, we can all take comfort in the integrity of our electoral system.

Mr. Speaker, obviously it is very important to all Canadians that our elections are run with integrity and are not compromised. That is why Canadians can take comfort in what the Chief Electoral Officer said when he confirmed yesterday that there is no reason to believe that it was not a free and fair election. In January 2019, we formed a non-partisan committee to assess potential threats of electoral interference and the committee clearly established that the integrity of our election had not been compromised in 2019 nor in 2021. Canadians can have confidence.

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.

Madam Speaker, this is an attitude of all hands on deck to make sure that individuals who do not deserve a passport do not get one. Canada's passport program is working hand in hand with partners such as Correctional Services Canada, the RCMP, police services and partnering agencies to make sure that sex offenders do not get a passport. We are doing so while making sure that all other Canadians who do deserve a passport will get one in due time. We may have implemented many well-thought-out, reality-based solutions to speed up the process to get a passport this year, but one thing we did not do is compromise the integrity of the passport rights. At all costs, we must protect our children, and that is exactly what we are going to continue to do.
