Mr. Speaker, was the Prime Minister briefed about Beijing's election interference involving 11 candidates? The Prime Minister has been repeatedly asked this question and he has not answered it. He hides behind carefully crafted words such as saying he was not briefed about candidates receiving money from China, but that is not the question. When will the Prime Minister stop his stonewalling, stop his word parsing and tell us what he knows about Beijing's election interference?

Mr. Speaker, as I said several times, and as the Minister of Public Safety and the Prime Minister also said, we take the threat of foreign interference very seriously. Obviously, we are on the job to protect the democratic institutions that are so important for Canada. The good news is that that is exactly what our government did. Despite all the efforts of the conspiracy theorists opposite, I can assure the House that Canada's election was free and open and that the results are completely reliable.
