Mr. Speaker, I am not sure which book the member is referring to. I kind of missed that part. I did catch the word “inquiry”, though, and I notice that we are still waiting to hear how the New Democrats intend to vote on our motion to call the Prime Minister's chief of staff to testify before a committee of the House.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has backed down and flip-flopped after weeks of pressure from the Conservative Party to allow just one of his aides to testify about how Beijing helped the Liberal Party in multiple elections. He is delaying the truth. He has appointed a friend, neighbour from the cottage and member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation to produce a report that will take months. Will he finally end the cover-up and launch a public inquiry today?

Mr. Speaker, I think I have figured it out. It turns out the Liberals and the Conservatives both have something in common. They are both opposed to a public inquiry. People deserve a public inquiry because foreign interference undermines trust in our democracy. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, it turns out that I have to repeat this again because it is so important. It looks like the Liberals and the Conservatives both have something in common. They are both opposed to a public inquiry. People deserve a public inquiry because foreign interference undermines trust in our democracy, undermines trust in our electoral system. My question for the Prime Minister is the following: Why is he wasting time? Why does the Prime Minister not call a public inquiry immediately?
