Mr. Speaker, it seems like the Prime Minister is more interested in protecting himself than protecting the electoral system. Every day, new things come up. Every day, there are new allegations of foreign interference. This undermines confidence in our electoral system. Canadians want to know why there is such secrecy around this. Why does the Prime Minister not launch a public inquiry?

Mr. Speaker, according to Global News, the Prime Minister's Office was informed in 2019 and 2022 about Chinese authorities interfering in our elections. Nothing was ever revealed; the information was hidden. Either the Prime Minister ignored it, which is dangerously negligent, or he was not informed directly, which means someone on his team was dangerously irresponsible. Now the Prime Minister's solution is to appoint a secret committee. This is just more secrecy. Why is the Prime Minister refusing to create an independent public commission of inquiry?
