Mr. Speaker, another one of the Prime Minister's solutions is to appoint a special rapporteur, who will be happy to do his bidding, kind of like our leader's golden retriever. We do not need a special report. What we need is a commissioner that all parties in the House agree on to head up an independent public commission on foreign interference in elections. Why is the Prime Minister stubbornly refusing to set up an independent public commission?

Mr. Speaker, those of us on this side of the House have confidence in the experts. I think we have all heard some experts say we need an independent public commission, while others say a public commission would not be able to do all the fact-checking it would take to give Canadians confidence in our institutions. That is why we chose to ask an independent, impartial expert to determine the best way to ensure that Canadians can have confidence in what was done.
